31 31 order Order on Motion for Leave to Proceed In Forma Pauperis Order on Motion to Reopen Case Order on Motion for Order Order on Motion to Transfer / Disqualify / Recuse Judge Order on Motion to Appoint Counsel Order on Motion for Extension of Time Thu 06/15 11:30 AM
ORDER RE PENDING MOTIONS. Plaintiff's motions to disqualify (Doc. #27 ) and for alleged fraud on the Court (Doc. #28 ) are DENIED, because plaintiff has not established bias or an appearance of impropriety or other grounds for my disqualification under 28 U.S.C. § 455(a). Although my father used to serve as a legislator in Connecticut and supported gun control legislation, there is no basis to attribute my father's views to me or to support plaintiff's contention that the dismissal of plaintiff's cases would somehow have the effect of "shielding [my] father from future prosecution." Doc. #27 at 4. Plaintiff's filing of amended complaints are also DENIED, because plaintiff has not alleged any grounds warranting reconsideration of the Court's previous ruling dismissing the complaint pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B) (Doc. #8 ). Because the case will remain closed, plaintiff's motions for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (Docs. #26 , #30 ) are DENIED as moot. Signed by Judge Jeffrey A. Meyer on 6/15/2017. (Levenson, C.)
