Civil Action No. 10CV2772

ROBERT TURLEY Plaintiff(s), v. CORRECTIONAL HEALTHCARE MANAGEMENT, et al. Defendants(s).
Honorable
ORDER of RECUSAL
This case was recently reassigned to me. However, I handled the underlying criminal case against Mr. Turley in state court, including imposing a sentence to the Department of Corrections. Also, I recall that the incident involving the ham sandwich came up in some manner while I had the case as a state court judge, although I do not recall what, if anything, I was asked to do or what, if anything, I did. In any event, in order that Mr. Turley and his counsel can feel that this case will be heard by an independent judicial officer with no prior connection to it, I hereby recuse myself from further participation in the case and ask that it be reassigned to another judge.
BY THE COURT:
R. Brooke Jackson
United States District Judge
