MOTION TO INHIBIT

          DEFENDANT, through the undersigned counsel, respectfully moves this

Honorable Court to desist from trying the above-entitled case on the following
averments:

above-entitled case;
4. That it is necessary that the Honorable Judge inhibit himself so as to promote the

Honorable Judge Dwight Anthony Yu inhibit himself from hearing and trying the
above-entitled case.
