Filing 10
ORDER Signed by the Honorable Andrea R. Wood on 1/31/2022: Plaintiff's motion to recuse #8 , citing 28 U.S.C. 455(a), is granted. Plaintiff does not contend that the underlying facts of this lawsuit provide a basis for recusal. Rather, Plaintiff, who has been suspended from the practice of law on an interim and indefinite basis, seeks recusal on the grounds that this judge has been identified as a potential witness in ongoing disciplinary proceedings against him. See In re Felipe N. Gomez, S. Ct. Order of 04/08/2021 (imposing interim suspension). Specifically, Judge Wood presided over one of the cases (Case No. 19-cv-00540) in which Plaintiff's alleged misconduct occurred and thus has been identified as a person with knowledge of the facts by the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission. Commission No. 2020-PR-00064, Administrator's Report Pursuant to Commission Rule 253 at para 4. The Court notes that Plaintiff recently filed a motion in another case before a different Judge in this District citing similar grounds. (See Case No. 21-cv-02619, Dkt. No. 5.) The motion was granted. (Id., Dkt. No. 6.) Out of an abundance of caution, the Court similarly grants Plaintiff's motion here. The case will be reassigned by random lot. Mailed notice (dal, )
