RECUSAL ORDER

This case was randomly assigned to the undersigned when it was removed from the
Miami County Common Pleas Court in February 2017 and referred in the Preliminary Pretrial
Order filed today (ECF No. 9, PageID 138). Because critical dates in the case, including the trial
date, are set after expiration of my term of office on March 1, 2018, I hereby recuse myself from
further judicial participation in the case.
May 1, 2017.
s/ Michael R. Merz
United States Magistrate Judge
