United States District Court

Eastern District of California

Bobby Smith,

Plaintiff,

vs.

R. L. Andreasen,

Defendants.

No. Civ. S 00-1397 DFL PAN P

Order

-oOoMay 9, 2005, plaintiff moved to recuse the magistrate judge.

Plaintiff claims prejudice and bias based on rulings herein.

Actions taken by a judge during proceedings are not proper grounds

for disqualification. United States v. Scholl, 166 F.3d 964 (9th

Cir. 1999). Therefore plaintiff’s motion is denied.

So ordered.

Dated: May 12, 2005. 

 /s/ Peter A. Nowinski
