Date Filed Document Text
October 20, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 18 LETTER addressed to Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald from Rahul Manchanda, Esq. dated 10/20/2023 re: LETTER REMINDING COURT THAT DEFENDANTS ARE IGNORING THIS LAWSUIT AND EVADING SERVICE. Document filed by Rahul Manchanda..(Manchanda, Rahul)
October 12, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 17 ORDER: The Court is in receipt of plaintiff's letter, dated October 6, 2023, requesting that the Court recuse itself from this case. This case, like all new cases in this District, was randomly assigned to this Court. See Rule 4(b), Rules for the Division of Business Among District Judges. Once a case is assigned, "there is no process by which a party can request 'reassignment' based on a preference, a dislike of a particular judge, or a disappointment with a judge's rulings." James v. State Univ. of New York, No. 22 Civ. 4856, 2023 WL 3006104, at *3 (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 3, 2023). A party may request that a judge recuse herself in any proceeding in which the judge's "impartiality might reasonably be questioned." 28 U.S.C. 455(a). However, "there exists a strong presumption of a judge's impartiality which may only be overcome by adequate proof to the contrary." Wiltshire v. Williams, No. 10 Civ. 6947, 2012 WL 899383, at *6 (S.D.N.Y. Mar. 16, 2012). Plaintiff's suggestion that this Court should be disqualified based on a single case management order it issued is clearly insufficient to overcome the strong presumption of impartiality. See Watkins v. Smith, 561 F. App'x 46, 47 (2d Cir. 2014) (holding that plaintiff's dissatisfaction with a district court's "case management decisions is not a basis for recusal"). Accordingly, plaintiff's request is denied. (Signed by Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald on 10/12/2023) (mml)
October 6, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 16 LETTER addressed to Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald from Rahul Manchanda, Esq. dated 10/06/2023 re: LETTER REQUEST FOR RECUSAL OF JUDGE NAOMI REICE BUCHWALD FOR JUDICIAL BIAS, UNETHCAL BEHAVIOR, AND MISCONDUCT. Document filed by Rahul Manchanda..(Manchanda, Rahul)
October 5, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 15 ORDER The Court is in receipt of the parties' pre-motion letters, dated September 29, 2023. As a matter of case management, the Court is of the view that defendants' proposed motion to dismiss on absolute immunity grounds should be filed first and may be filed without the necessity of a pre-motion conference. Further, it is the Court's view that such a motion should be filed as soon as is practicable given the flurry of correspondence in this matter. (Signed by Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald on 10/5/2023) (jca)
