Opinion
Case No. 3:12-cv-190
01-30-2013
GEORGE DILLMAN, Plaintiff, v. MICHAEL J. ASTRUE, COMMISSIONER OF SOCIAL SECURITY, Defendant.
District Judge Thomas M. Rose
Magistrate Judge Michael R. Merz
RECUSAL ENTRY
Defendant has this date, with the consent of Plaintiff's counsel, taken an additional month's extension of time to respond to Plaintiff's Statement of Specific Errors, making the response due March 1, 2013. This will prevent the case from becoming ripe for decision until after the retirement of Career Law Clerk Patricia Zimmer.
Accordingly, the undersigned recuses himself from further participation in this case and orders that the Clerk re-assign the case randomly to one of the other two Magistrate Judges resident at Dayton.
Michael R. Merz
United States Magistrate Judge
