MARK JOHNSON, FRANCO S. CALZOLAI,

Plaintiffs,

 v.

THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN

FRANCISCO, THE CIVIL SERVICE

COMMISSION OF SAN FRANCISCO, and

THE SAN FRANCISCO FIRE

DEPARTMENT,

Defendants.

 /

No. C 09-05503 JSW

ORDER OF DISCLOSURE

The Court HEREBY ADVISES the parties that the undersigned’s son is a Deputy City

Attorney with the San Francisco City Attorney’s Office, which represents Defendant in this

case. Although the undersigned and his son have not had any contact or communications about

this matter, out of an abundance of caution, the Court issues this Order in the event any party

believes the undersigned should recuse himself from this matter. The Court also advises the

parties that, in connection with a previous case, the Court sought a formal opinion from the

Committee on Codes of Conduct of the Judicial Conference of the United 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. The
