ORDER

This case is presently before the Court upon pro se Plaintiff Drake A. Edwards’
Motion to Recuse (Doc. #7) and the record as a whole. Plaintiff requests the undersigned
recuse herself in this case, arguing “if you allow my day in court with Jury I will win!
Like you stated in the past I lie will fail! Your words. Peace :)” (emphasis and emoticon
in original).
Plaintiff has not filed an affidavit required for recusal under 28 U.S.C. § 144 and
has not specified any acts which would bring this case within 28 U.S.C. § 455.
Accordingly, Plaintiff’s motion lacks merit and is therefore DENIED.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
