Motion To Disqualify Magistrate Judge
A motion to disqualify
a Magistrate Judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 144 or 455 shall be made to the

District Judge has been assigned, the motion shall be assigned to a District
Judge for decision. A copy of the motion shall be submitted to the assigned
Magistrate Judge, who shall not proceed with the matter until the motion has
been determined. If the District Judge denies the motion, the case shall
proceed as originally assigned. If the District Judge grants the motion, the
case shall be returned to the Clerk for reassignment.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
