ORDER ON MOTION

 Around 9:00 a.m. on this 16 day of December, 2005, the court first received notice of th

Plaintiff’s Curtis Duncan Motion to Recuse Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 455(a) and (b)(1) (Doc. 46) filed

at 4:35 p.m. on December 15, 2005. 

Alleging that this court “has an impermissible personal bias and prejudice against Plaintiff

because of his Pro Se status” Duncan requests that his motion “be referred to another United States

Magistrate Judge for an evidentiary hearing and determination.” As required by the relevant statute,

this court has examined carefully the motion and discerns no basis in fact for the requested recusal

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 455(a) and (b)(1). This court has no “personal bias or prejudice concerning

[the pro se plaintiffs”, and no reasonable basis exists for questioning this court’s impartiality. The

facts and circumstances outlined as support for the motion constitute nothing more than Plaintiff’s

disagreement with the court’s rulings, his unlearned and otherwise irrelevant assessment of the

procedural rules and requirements applicable to federal civil litigation, and his impatience with this

court’s consistent attempt to enforce his compliance with the same. Accordingly, it is

ORDERED, for good cause, that Plaintiff’s Curtis Duncan Motion to Recuse Pursuant to

Case 2:05-cv-00557-WHA-DRB Document 49 Filed 12/16/05 Page 1 of 2
28 U.S.C. 455(a) and (b)(1) (Doc. 46) is DENIED and his unauthorized and otherwise

unwarranted request that another Magistrate Judge determine this Motion is also DENIED.

Done this 16 day of December, 2005. th
