UDO BIRNBAUM, Defendant in this Cause being sued for legal fees, moves for recusal of Hon. Paul Banner because of appearance of prejudice against pro se parties such as Udo Birnbaum, and in favor of the loose accounting practices of attorney solo practitioners as he claimed he once himself was. Such prejudice is also shown by failure to appoint an auditor as is required under Rule 172 RCP under the circumstances of this case.

Such appearance was at the hearing on September 7, 2001 for summary judgment against Birnbaum's civil RICO cross and third party plaintiff claims.
