Opinion
Civil Action No. 11-cv-01227-WYD
08-01-2011
Chief Judge Wiley Y. Daniel
ORDER OF RECUSAL
This matter is before me on a review of the file. My daughter is an associate at the law firm of Faegre & Benson, LLP, counsel for creditor Amazon.com, Inc. in the underlying bankruptcy action. Since this matter directly involves the bankruptcy case and whether a withdrawal of the reference of Adversary Proceeding 10-1782-MER is appropriate, I believe that it would be inappropriate for me to preside over this case. Accordingly, I should recuse myself. It is therefore
ORDERED that the judge's file be returned to the clerk and that the case be reassigned by random draw.
BY THE COURT:
Wiley Y. Daniel
Chief United States District Judge
