Opinion
Civil Action No 13-cv-00230-RBJ
03-05-2013
SOVEREIGN BANK, Plaintiff, v. PHILLIP A. WOLF, Defendant.
Honorable R. Brooke Jackson
ORDER
On February 19, 2013 the Court issued an order sua sponte remanding this case to state court. The defendant has now filed a motion for reconsideration in which he states that the Court is biased against pro se litigants. I do not recall having dealt with Mr. Wolf concerning a complaint he had about other judges in Gilpin County, but I accept his word that I did. I absolutely dispute the accuracy of the "facts" on which he bases his claim of bias. Nevertheless, a judge is generally required to assume the truth of facts asserted in a disqualification motion, even if the judge knows that they are not true. On that basis I will disqualify myself in this instance. The case will be reassigned according the standard procedures of this district.
BY THE COURT:
