U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit

Jermaine Lewis v.

August 21, 2026

Summary

The Court denied Lewis’s petition for a writ of mandamus seeking recusal and reassignment of the Magistrate Judge, as well as his motions to stay and expedite the proceedings. It held that Lewis had not shown either the absence of adequate alternative means or a clear and indisputable entitlement to relief, and that his conclusory allegations of an unspecified professional relationship were insufficient to require recusal.
