UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

JERRY F. STANLEY, 

Petitioner, 

v. 

RON DAVIS, et al., 

Respondents. 

No. 2:16-cv-3031 MCE GGH P 

ORDER 

 Petitioner, a state prisoner proceeding pro se has filed a Petition for a Writ of Habeas 

Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. section 2254. The undersigned hereby disqualifies himself from 

sitting on this case pursuant to 28 U.S.C. section 455(a) insofar as his law clerk, who would have 

some responsibilities with regard to the case, was at one time sued by Petitioner, and a failure to 

recuse risks creation of an appearance of impropriety or concern about his impartiality. 

 The Clerk of the Court shall assign this matter to another Magistrate Judge forthwith. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: January 12, 2017
