ORDER

This matter comes before the court on Plaintiff Judson Witham 's pro se motion seeking (1) removal
and change of venue and (2) the recusal of various judges from the case based upon purported conflicts of
interest [DE-27] .
As the court noted in an earlier order denying another of Plaintiffs motions seeking removal and
change of venue [DE-26] , this case has already been closed [DE-8], and there is accordingly no case to
remove or transfer. Additionally, the court concludes that Plaintiff has failed to articulate a valid basis for
the court to order the recusal of any judge.
Plaintiffs motion is accordingly DENIED.

SO ORDERED this the
