          ORDER OF RECUSAL

          ANTHONY W. ISHII, District Judge.

         It has come to the attention of the court that the undersigned judge is personally acquainted with a witness in this case. The undersigned judge is satisfied that any such personal acquaintanceship would not affect his impartiality or the outcome of the case. Nonetheless, the undersigned judge concludes that because of this personal acquaintanceship, under 28 U.S.C. § 455(a), his impartiality might reasonably be questioned.

         THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED that the undersigned judge RECUSES himself from all proceedings in this case.
