FACTUAL BACKGROUND 1. Plaintiff is the named party in this action currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York; 2.

Plaintiff was not notified of a transfer, reassignment, or recusal process and did not consent to adjudication by the presiding judge; 5.

REQUESTED RELIEF Plaintiff respectfully requests that the Court: 1. Vacate all rulings, decisions, and orders entered by Judge Lehuburger due to lack of judicial assignment authority; 2. Refer this matter to the Chief Judge or appropriate Judicial Council for review and corrective action; 3. Reassign this matter through the standard random assignment process; 4. Grant any other relief that the Court deems just and proper in the interest of fairness and judicial integrity. Respectfully submitted, Lucio Celli CLOSED,ECF,PRO-SE
