United States Seventh Circuit

Petition for a writ of mandamus seeking the recusal of the respondent district judge currently presiding over a criminal action is granted where the Government has established that a reasonable, well‐informed observer might question the impartiality of the judge. The judge is directed to remove himself from further proceedings in this matter, and all orders entered by the judge after the motion for recusal was filed must be vacated.
