Re: further correspondence from Ms Atas

Counsel: Gary M. Caplan for the Plaintiffs Nadire Atas self-represented

Heard: August 30, 2018, in Chambers

Before: D.L. Corbett J.

Endorsement

[1] Ms Atas has written to the Regional Senior Justice asking that he (or I) remove me as case management judge for her matters. Ms Atas has previously made this request of the Regional Senior Justice and has the benefit of his response – which was to direct her back to me, the case management judge.

[2] Ms Atas’ letter is improper. Ms Atas has been told, repeatedly, that this sort of correspondence is improper. A motion for recusal is brought, on a proper evidentiary foundation, on notice to all affected parties, to the judicial officer who is alleged to be biased or to have shown a reasonable apprehension of bias. Ms Atas must follow this procedure. In addition, she must comply with the requirements of the judgment from January 2018 in connection with this or any other step she proposes to take. And in addition, any process for a recusal motion will be undertaken through the case management process.

[3] Finally, Ms Atas has been told, repeatedly, that it is improper for a litigant to write directly to the court seeking relief in a proceeding. The limits on proper communication with the court are set out, expressly, in the judgment rendered on the s.140 application. Ms Atas is to strictly follow those directions and not to correspond further with the court except in accordance with those directions.
