Opinion
Civil Action No. 12-cv-01570-PAB
06-19-2012
MICHAEL BACOTE, et al., Plaintiffs, v. FEDERAL BUREAU OF PRISONS, et al., Defendants.
Judge Philip A. Brimmer
ORDER OF RECUSAL
This matter is before me on review of the file. In my prior position as an Assistant United States Attorney in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Colorado, I represented the United States in United States v. William Concepcion Sablan, Case No. 00-cr-00531-WYD, which resulted in the conviction and subsequent incarceration in ADX of William Sablan, named as an "Interested Individual" in the Complaint. As a result, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 455, it is necessary that I recuse myself from this case. It is therefore
ORDERED that the judge's file be returned to the clerk's office for the case be reassigned by random draw.
BY THE COURT:
