ORDER OF RECUSAL

This order follows the undersigned's review of this docket. Yesterday, Attorney Kelly J. McAuley filed a notice of appearance on behalf of Bankers Insurance. (Doc. 16). Ms. McAuley has been a good friend of the undersigned for over twenty years. Given our personal relationship, the undersigned's 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). Therefore, 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.
