IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL A. BRUZZONE,

Plaintiff,

 v.

INTEL CORPORATION and ARM, INC.,

Defendants. /

No. C 14-01279 WHA

ORDER DENYING

FOURTH MOTION TO

DISQUALIFY JUDGE

An August 19, 2014 order granted Intel Corporation’s motion to declare pro se Michael

Bruzzone a vexatious litigant (Dkt. No. 88). Bruzzone did not attend the hearing on the motion.

Buzzone’s five motions for reconsideration of that order were each denied. Bruzzone has now

filed a motion requesting the undersigned to disqualify himself from this matter, and referring

the undersigned to this district’s Standing Committee on Professional Conduct. Chief Judge

Phyllis Hamilton has denied Bruzzone’s motion regarding the reference to the Standing

Committee (Dkt. No. 116).

The instant motion, like Bruzzone’s third motion to disqualify, relies on Sections 455(a)

and 455(b)(1) of Title 28 of the United States Code, which provide standards for

disqualification, but do not authorize motions to disqualify. Bruzzone’s recourse, which he has

already exhausted, was to file a motion under Section 144 (Dkt. No. 58). Accordingly,

Bruzzone’s motion is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: December 23, 2015.
