Description
This complex appeal presents several novel questions arising out of a federal district courts continuing efforts to purge Local 560 of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters of a twenty-five year history of corruption and indignity. On December 17, 1987, the United States sought an order from Judge Harold A. Ackerman of the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey compelling the petitioners, Michael Sciarra and Joseph Sheridan, to give testimony by oral examination. The petitioners thereafter filed a cross-motion demanding Judge Ackermans recusal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 455. By order dated February 8, 1988, the district court granted the Governments application, and denied petitioners cross-motion. Sheridan and Sciarra now appeal. We affirm the district courts order compelling the petitioners to submit to oral depositions. We additionally vacate the district courts denial of petitioners cross-motion and dismiss their appeal without prejudice.
