Re: Brad D. Greenspan v. News Corporation, et al., Civil Action No. 9567-VCG

Dear Counsel and Mr. Greenspan:

I have Mr. Greenspan’s Motion for Recusal filed today. The Plaintiff’s

motion is grounded on substantially the same allegations pled in support of his

“Application for Certification of Interlocutory Appeal” filed January 22, 2016. For

the reasons stated in my Letter Opinion and Order of January 22, 2016 denying

certification of interlocutory appeal, the Plaintiff’s Motion for Recusal is DENIED. To the extent Mr. Greenspan attempts to include in his motion an additional ground

for recusal based on alleged actions of the Register in Chancery’s office, such ground

is incoherent and fails to state a legal or equitable basis for recusal.

To the extent the foregoing requires an Order to take effect, IT IS SO

ORDERED.

Sincerely,

/s/ Sam Glasscock III

Sam Glasscock
