    The document discusses a lawsuit filed by George R. Scott III against former associates related to alleged misuse of state funds. It also discusses Scott's motion to recuse the presiding judge.

    Scott alleges that his former wife Elizabeth Darling misused state funds for multiple extramarital affairs and that Governor Perry covered it up by appointing Darling to a state foundation position. Scott is suing Darling, Perry, and related state offices and foundations.

    The plaintiff wanted Judge Lee Yeakel recused because Yeakel was appointed by former President George W. Bush, who the plaintiff indicated could become a defendant in the suit.

    IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COUIJ


    FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF TJB 27 PM 14.06
    AUSTIN DIVISION

    GEORGE R. SCOTT III,


    Plaintiff,

    -vs- Case No. A-15-CA-11-SS

    JAMES RICHARD PERRY, ELIZABETH M.


    DARLING, THE TEXAS GOVERNORS
    OFFICE, and THE ONESTAR FOUNDATION
    OF TEXAS,
    Defendants.

    (1 P fl 1' P

    BE IT REMEMBERED on this day the Court reviewed the file in the above-styled cause,

    and specificallypro se Plaintiff George R. Scott III's Motion to Recuse [#6], filed January 26, 2015.

    Scott moves to recuse United States District Judge Lee Yeakel from this action on grounds Judge

    Yeakel was appointed by former President George W. Bush, who "could become" a named

    defendant in the suit. Mot. Recuse [#6] at 1. The Court now enters the following order DENYING

    the motion.

    According to Scott' spro se Complaint [#1], Defendant Elizabeth M. Darling, to whom Scott

    was formerly married, "created and caused a Faith Based sex scandal" by using "Texas State funds

    to pay for expenses related to multiple adulterous affairs." Compl. [#1] at 5. Scott alleges Governor

    Perry "has been and is currently involved in the cover up of Ms Darling's Faith-Based sex scandal

    which he inherited from President George W. Bush when he appointed Ms Darling as President/CEO

    of his Faith Based creation, The Onestar Foundation of Texas in 2009." Id. at 6.
    Case 1:15-cv-00011-LY-AWA Document 37 Filed 02/27/15 Page 2 of 3

    Having reviewed the Complaint and the file as a whole, the Court can discern absolutely no

    meritorious basis upon which former President George W. Bush could be named as a defendant in

    this lawsuit. Moreover, even were Scott to name former President Bush as a defendant, a federal

    judge need not recuse himself from every case involving the President who appointed him. See, e.g.,

    Armenian Assembly of Am., Inc. v. Cafesjian, 783 F. Supp. 2d 78, 93 (D.C. Cir. 2011) ("The case

    law is clear that recusal is not warranted where a judge is alleged to be biased based solely on

    political connections to the President who appointed [him]."); United States v. Gordon, 974 F.2d

    1110, 1114 (9th Cir. 1992), overruled on other grounds by United States v. Bagdasarian, 652 F.3d

    1113 (2011) ("It is not reasonable to suspect that Judge Rafeedie's ability to preside impartially

    would be affected by the fact that President Reagan appointed him."). A federal judgeship is a life-

    tenured position, and federal judges take an oath to "faithfully and impartially discharge and perform

    all duties. . . under the Constitution and laws of the United States." 28 U.S.C. § 453. As the D.C.

    Circuit has noted, Justices Ginsburg and Breyer, both Clinton appointees, participated in Clinton v.

    Jones, 520 U.S. 681 (1997), and Chief Justice Burger and Justices Blackmun and Powell, all Nixon

    appointees, participated in United States v. Nixon, 418 U.S. 683 (1974). In re Executive Office of

    the President, 215 F.3d 25, 25-26 (D.C. Cir. 2000). Consequently, the Court finds Judge Yeakel

    need not recuse himself from this case.

    Accordingly,

    IT IS ORDERED that the Motion to Recuse [#6] is DENIED; and

    IT IS FiNALLY ORDERED that the above-styled and numbered cause is

    TRANSFERRED to the Austin Docket of the Honorable Lee Yeakel, United States District

    Judge.
