IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KIP SIDES,

Plaintiff,

 v.

CISCO SYSTEMS, INC., and UNITED

HEALTHCARE,

Defendants. /

No. C 15-03893 WHA

ORDER OF RECUSAL

As stated on the record during the case management conference in the above-captioned

matter, and notwithstanding the undersigned’s sympathetic response to plaintiff’s account of

problems dealing with medical insurance, the undersigned is confident that he could fairly and

impartially consider both sides in this matter (Dkt. No. 83 at 12:20–13:8). Nonetheless, given

the particular circumstances, the undersigned invited defendants to bring a motion to recuse and

indicated that such a motion would be well-received (id. at 12:14–12:19). Defendant

UnitedHealthcare Insurance Company has done so (Dkt. No. 85). Accordingly, the undersigned

recuses himself from this case and requests that it be reassigned pursuant to the Assignment

Plan. All pending dates of case management conferences, motions, pretrial conferences and

trial are hereby VACATED and will be reset by the newly assigned judge.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: December 30, 2016.
