UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
TAMPA DIVISION

BLAKE WARNER, on behalf

THE SCHOOL BOARD OF
HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY,

Defendant.

ORDER
Under 28 U.S.C. § 455, a judge shall disqualify herself in any proceeding
in which her impartiality might reasonably be questioned. 28 U.S.C. § 455(a).
When the proper grounds exist, a judge has an affirmative and self-enforcing
obligation to recuse herself sua sponte. United States v. Kelly, 888 F.2d 732,
744 (11th Cir. 1989). Because a member of the undersigned’s chambers staff
has a personal association with J.W., the Clerk is directed to reassign this case
to another magistrate judge by random draw.
ORDERED in Tampa, Florida on May 12, 2023.
Aranda. Ayre □□ Sarma.
AMANDA ARNOLD SANSONE
United States Magistrate Judge
