MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
WEINSTEIN, Senior District Judge:
Defendant’s motion to disqualify the trial judge is denied. The court met on the record with named plaintiff and several other DES plaintiffs and at numerous times with counsel for both sides together and separately. They revealed all of the prospective evidence in these cases in great detail. These conferences were conducted in the court’s role as settlement judge. There is no basis for an objective observer to question the court’s neutrality. There is no appearance of partiality. Disqualification is not warranted.
