UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, v. CHRISTOPHER SWITLYK.

Case No. 8:24-cr-234-VMC-AAS-1

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA TAMPA DIVISION

July 18, 2024

AMANDA ARNOLD SANSONE

ORDER OF RECUSAL

A member of the undersigned‘s family appeared as Christopher Switlyk‘s counsel. Given this relationship, my impartiality might be reasonably questioned. Under 28 U.S.C. Section 455(a), a judge shall disqualify herself in any proceeding in which her impartiality might reasonably be questioned. When the proper grounds exist, a judge has an affirmative and self-enforcing obligation to recuse herself sua sponte with any doubts to be resolved in favor of disqualification. United States v. Kelly, 888 F.2d 732, 744 (11th Cir. 1989).

It is appropriate for me to recuse myself. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to randomly reassign this case to another United States Magistrate Judge.

ORDERED in Tampa, Florida on July 18, 2024.

AMANDA ARNOLD SANSONE

United States Magistrate Judge
