In a striking move, the court also took the unusual step of removing Scheindlin from the case, saying she had ‘ran afoul’ of the judiciary’s code of conduct and compromised the ‘appearance of impartiality surrounding this litigation’ by granting media interviews while the case was pending before her.”
