This matter comes before the Court on Plaintiff Betsy Elgar’s (“Elgar”) motion to
10
reopen case and appoint a new judge (Dkt. 4).
11
On December 3, 2012, the Court sua sponte dismissed Elgar’s complaint. Dkt. 3.
12
On December 7, 2012, Elgar filed the instant motion requesting that the Court reopen her
13
case and appoint a new judge to consider her complaint. Dkt. 4. Elgar provides no
14
authority for her position and fails to show why an appeal is not the appropriate remedy
15
for her concerns. Therefore, the Court denies the motion.
16
IT IS SO ORDERED.
17
Dated this 16th day of January, 2013.
