ORDER
On August 6, 2010, United States District Judge Brian S. Miller referred to me plaintiff's motion to dismiss, for a recommended disposition (Doc. No. 13). However, after reviewing the case file and the pending motion, I believe I should recuse myself from this matter, because plaintiff was represented by Attorney Jack Kearney, my brother, at some stage of his state criminal matter. In addition, it appears that plaintiff is requesting the Court to appoint Jack Kearney to represent him in this matter (Doc. No. 8).
The Clerk of the Court is hereby directed to reassign this matter to another United States Magistrate Judge.
DATED this 17th day of August, 2010.
