(PS) Narayan v. County of Sacramento

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 PRAKASH NARAYAN, No. 2:19-cv-0466-TLN-CKD PS Plaintiff, ORDER v. (ECF No. 117) COUNTY OF SACRAMENTO, et al., Defendants. 16 17 On July 29, 2021, plaintiff filed a motion entitled “Motion Under 28 U.S Code § 144 Biased and Prejudice Amended.” (ECF No. 117.) The same day, plaintiff also filed a response to the court’s May 6, 2021 order1 denying plaintiff’s previous April 28, 2021 motion for the undersigned to recuse herself from this case. (ECF Nos. 113, 115, 116.) In his response to the May 6th order, plaintiff argues that his April 28th motion was not a “motion to disqualify” the undersigned but rather a “motion of being biased and prejudice.” (ECF No. 116 at 2-3, 6.) He further argues that, under 28 U.S.C. § 144, the undersigned improperly ruled on that April 28th motion, instead of having another judge decide the matter. 26
