USCA Mandate
MANDATE of USCA dated 6/16/2025 Dismissing 23 Notice of Appeal, filed by Theodora F. Antar (Gaskins, A)
Order on Motion to Transfer / Disqualify / Recuse Judge
ORDER finding as moot 28 Motion to Transfer/Disqualify/Recuse Judge. As the case is closed and no motion is currently pending before Judge Oliver, Plaintiff's motion to recuse (ECF No. 13) is denied as moot. Even if the motion were not moot, the Court sees no reason why its "impartiality might reasonably be questioned." 28 U.S.C. § 455. Recusal is not warranted "in response to vague, unsupported or speculative charges of impartiality." McCann v. Commc'ns Design Corp., 775 F. Supp. 1506, 1523 (D. Conn. 1991). And dissatisfaction with the Court's rulings does not justify recusal. See Watkins v. Smith, 561 F. App'x 46 (2d Cir. 2014) (summary order) ("[T]he fact that [parties] were unhappy with the district court's legal rulings and other case management decisions is not a basis for recusal."). In the Court's estimation, nothing in the motion to recuse suggests impropriety.
Signed by Judge Vernon D. Oliver on 6/5/2025. (Dao, J)
