RECUSAL ORDER

This case was randomly assigned to the undersigned upon its filing in June 2017. District
Judge Rice has now entered a Preliminary Pretrial Conference Order which refers the case to me
for pretrial management purposes (ECF No. 8, PageID 50). However, many of the dates set in
the Order occur after expiration of my term of office on March 1, 2018.
Therefore, I recuse myself from further judicial participation in this case and direct the
Clerk to randomly reassign the case to one of the other Magistrate Judges resident at Dayton.
September 20, 2017.
s/ Michael R. Merz
United States Magistrate Judge
