Doe v. United States Office of Personnel Management

UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FILED FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT JUL 2 2026 MOLLY C. DWYER, CLERK U.S. COURT OF APPEALS JOHN DOE, No. 25-7438 D.C. No. Plaintiff - Appellant, 3:25-cv-02930-RFL Northern District of California, v. San Francisco UNITED STATES OFFICE OF ORDER PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT; et al., Defendants - Appellees.

Before: WARDLAW, BEA, and SANCHEZ, Circuit Judges.

The motion (Docket Entry No. 61) for recusal and reassignment is granted.

Judge Wardlaw disagrees with the reasoning behind the request for her recusal, but does not have any reason to doubt the sincerity of the request.

Therefore, in an abundance of caution, she is recusing herself from this case.

The May 26, 2026, memorandum disposition dismissing this appeal is vacated and the case will be reassigned.

The petition for rehearing (Docket Entry No. 59) is denied as moot.
