UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

Robert Ziegler,

Plaintiff,

v.

Betty T. Yee, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No.: 18-cv-0348-BTM-WVG

RECUSAL ORDER

On March 8, 2018, Plaintiff Robert Ziegler filed a “Supplemental Claim,” 

seeking to add the undersigned Judge as a party to the action. Because the 

documents did not comply with this District’s Local Rules, they were forwarded to 

the Court along with notices of document discrepancies. The undersigned Judge 

hereby recuses from ruling on whether these documents should be filed, as well 

as all other future issues related to the undersigned Judge as a party to the 

action.

The undersigned Judge, however, will not recuse from the original action. 

See Ronwin v. State Bar of Arizona, 686 F.2d 692, 701 (9th Cir. 1981) (“[A] judge 

is not disqualified merely because a litigant sues or threatens to sue him.”). 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: March 20, 2018
