MARQUISE D. HARRIS, Plaintiff, v.

Magistrate Judge Boyd N. Boland
ORDER OF RECUSAL
Section 455(a), 28 U.S.C., requires that a judge disqualify or recuse himself where "his impartiality might reasonably be questioned." "In determining whether a judge should recuse under § 455(a), the issue is not whether the judge is impartial in fact, but rather, whether a reasonable man might question his impartiality under all circumstances." Id.; Webbe v. McGhie Land Title Co., 549 F.2d 1358, 1361 (10th Cir. 1977).
After reviewing the case file, I conclude that I should recuse myself from further service in this case. Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that I hereby recuse myself from any further service in this matter.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court shall cause this case to be reassigned to another magistrate judge.
DATED May 2, 2013, at Denver, Colorado.
BY THE COURT:
Boyd N. Boland
United States Magistrate Judge
