IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN FRANCISCO DIVISION

ANNA VERTKIN, MD,

Plaintiff,

 v.

WELLS FARGO HOME MORTGAGE,

Defendant. /

No. C 10-00775 RS

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR

DISQUALIFICATION AND GRANTING

PERMISSION TO FILE

ELECTRONICALLY

On April 1, 2010, plaintiff moved to disqualify the undersigned pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §

455(b)(2). The subsection provides that a district judge shall disqualify himself where “in

private practice he served as lawyer in the matter in controversy, or a lawyer with whom he

previously practiced law served during such association as a lawyer concerning the matter, or

the judge or such lawyer has been a material witness concerning it . . . .” Judge Seeborg never

served as an attorney in the instant controversy, nor did Morrison & Foerster represent

defendants in the instant controversy. Having resigned from the partnership of Morrison &

Foerster in December, 2000, there are no grounds for disqualification under the section. 

Plaintiffs’ request must therefore be denied.

Plaintiff’s request for permission to file electronically is granted; she may contact the

Clerk’s Office to obtain the necessary paperwork at 415/522-2000.
