On July 7, 2015, the Court notified the parties that the undersigned’s son is a Deputy City

The Court also advised the parties that, in connection with a previous case, the Court sought a

States, regarding a request for recusal. The Committee issued a thorough opinion outlining the

circumstances in which recusal might be warranted, and it found that recusal was not required in that

case. Having received a request for the letter from Plaintiffs’ counsel, the Court attaches the opinion

from the Committee on Codes of Conduct.
