Jill E. Clark, Esq.

Golden Valley, MN 55427
RE: Rickmyer v. Hodson, et al
Court File No. 27CV10-3378
Dear Ms. Clark,
I received your notice of appearance and motion paperwork dated March 17 and March 22. I disagree that the order to show cause is a criminal contempt proceeding and that the Rules of Criminal Procedure apply. Because I prompted an investigation by the Office of Lawyers Professional Responsibility into your conduct on another matter, I will recuse myself to avoid any appearance of impropriety. The case will be reassigned to Judge Swenson to hear the order to show cause when his schedule allows. Also, if there are any questions pertaining to the record in this case, the order and transcript from the hearing are available at your request.
Sincerely,
Robert A. Blaeser
District Court Judge

This blog does not know what is the "other matter" or the "conduct on another matter." We do not know if this "other matter" was something recent, or some long ago matter.
It does, however, sound like legal hot water.
