ORDER
THIS MATTER is before the court on its own Motion to Recuse. Due to the recent
discovery of a conflict under Canon 3C(1)(d)(ii), that was not discovered through the automated
conflict-checking program due to a lack of integration of the bankruptcy and district court
dockets on appeal, the court will recuse itself from further consideration of any matter in the
Garlock Sealing Technologies LLC litigation and appeals as such conflict is not subject to
remittal under Canon 3D. See Guide to Judiciary Policy, Vol. 2B, Ch.2, Adv. Op. No. 38, at p.
38-2. The Clerk of Court is directed to spread this order among the above captioned docket
numbers, assign these matters to another district judge, and advise the Clerk of the Bankruptcy
Court of such recusal.
Signed: October 22, 2014
