United States District Court

Northern District of California

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CHARLES KINNEY,

Plaintiff,

v.

STATE BAR OF CALIFORNIA, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 16-cv-02277-MMC 

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF'S 

MOTION TO VACATE, AMEND, OR 

RECONSIDER ORDER DENYING 

PLAINTIFF'S MOTION TO 

DISQUALIFY OR RECUSE; VACATING 

HEARING

Re: Dkt. No. 19

Before the Court is plaintiff's "Motion to Vacate, Motion to Amend, and/or Motion 

and Request for Reconsideration of the 'Order Denying Plaintiff's Motion to Disqualify or 

Recuse," filed June 11, 2016. Having read and considered the motion, the Court rules as 

follows.1

By the instant motion, plaintiff seeks reconsideration of the Court's order of June 1, 

2015, by which the Court denied plaintiff's motion for either disqualification or recusal of 

the undersigned. The instant motion is procedurally improper, as plaintiff has failed to 

seek, let alone obtain, leave to file a motion for reconsideration, see Civil L.R. 7-9(a), and 

is substantively meritless, as plaintiff has failed to identify any cognizable basis for 

reconsideration, see Civil L.R. 7-9(b) (setting forth grounds upon which motion for 

reconsideration of interlocutory order may be made).

The July 22, 2016, hearing is VACATED.
