At Wilmington this Jjbday of Nlarch, 2006;
IT IS ORDERED that:
Petitioner Ronald G. Johnson’s "Motion for Judge Kent Jordan to Recuse
Himself from Handling [Civil Action No. O4—1444—KAJ]," filed on February 16, 2006, is
DENIED. (D.l. 26.) Johnson contends that I am biased and prejudiced against him
because I consolidated certain habeas proceedings and denied the relief requested
therein. An unfavorable ruling is not a basis for recusal. See Securacomm Consulting,
Inc. v. Securacomm, Inc., 224 F.3d 273, 278-79 (3d Cir. 2000). Regardless, Johnson’s
request for my recusal is moot because I denied his § 2241 petition in December 2004,
and the case was re-closed on January 9,2006. (D.l. 7; D.l. 21.)
