Filing 26
ORDER re: recusal of Judge Thomas O. Farrish. Judge Farrish recuses himself from this case pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 455. The plaintiff is represented by Attorney Jeffrey Mueller of Day Pitney LLP. Judge Farrish was, until December 31, 2019, Attorney Mueller's law partner. Although more than three years have elapsed since Judge Farrish left Day Pitney, making his recusal no longer mandatory in all cases in which the firm appears, see Swoverland v. GlaxoSmithKline, No. 3:10-cv-914 (SRU), 2010 WL 7862769, at *1 (D. Conn. Aug. 23, 2010), Attorney Mueller is one of a limited number of Day Pitney attorneys whose continuing relationship with Judge Farrish is such that the judge's impartiality might reasonably be questioned. Judge Farrish therefore recuses himself, and the Clerk of the Court is respectfully directed to associate a different, randomly-selected magistrate judge with the case. It is so ordered. Signed by Judge Thomas O. Farrish on 5/25/23.(Wood, R.)

| Judge S. Dave Vatti added. Judge Thomas O. Farrish no longer assigned to case. (Johnson, D.) |
| Answer deadline updated for Jeffrey H. Zaiger to 6/29/2023; Zaiger LLC to 6/29/2023. (Ferguson, L.) |
