In Re City of Detroit, Detroit Water and Sewerage Department
Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit
Decided September 17, 1987No. 85-1894PublishedCited by 35 opinions
1Per curiam
The City of Detroit, Michigan, and its water and sewerage department have petitioned this court for a writ of mandamus that would require the former Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan to recuse himself in two pending cases that arose out of the city’s waste water treatment operations. Because the refusal of a trial judge to disqualify himself is not ordinarily subject to review by way of mandamus, and because we are satisfied that the judge in this case did not abuse his discretion in refusing to recuse, we shall deny the petition.
