No specific laws identified for this ruling.
Magistrate Judge Colin H Lindsay denied Plaintiff Stanley W. Wells, Jr.'s motion to recuse himself based on his prior employment at the law firm representing defendant United Parcel Service Airlines, finding that such prior professional affiliation alone does not create a reasonable question about judicial impartiality under 28 U.S.C. § 455.
