The following Minute Order is made by direction of the Court, the Honorable John C.
Coughenour, United States District Judge:
This matter comes before the Court sua sponte. On March 10, 2022, Defendants Fred

18

Burnside, Zana Bugaighis, and Davis Wright Tremaine moved to dismiss Plaintiff’s claims

19

against them (Dkt. No. 29). On March 31, 2022, Plaintiff moved to disqualify this judge from

20

presiding over the matter (Dkt. No. 35), which I declined to do. (See Dkt. No. 37.) Instead, I

21

stayed consideration of Defendants’ motion and referred Plaintiff’s disqualification motion to

22

Chief Judge Martinez pursuant to LCR 3(f). (Id.) Today, Chief Judge Martinez affirmed my

23

decision declining to recuse in this matter. (Dkt. No. 38). As a result, there is no need to continue

24

to stay consideration of Defendants’ motion to dismiss (Dkt. No. 29).

25
26

The stay, (see Dkt. No. 37), is lifted and the Clerk is DIRECTED to renote Defendant’s
motion to dismiss (Dkt. No. 29) to today: April 4, 2022.
