ORDER

REINHARDT, Circuit Judge.

Shortly before the hearing of this appeal, the defendants-intervenors-appellants ("Proponents") requested that I recuse myself under 28 U.S.C. § 455(a) and § 455(b)(5)(iii). Under § 455(a), I must recuse myself if "a reasonable person with knowledge of all the facts would conclude that [my] impartiality might reasonably be questioned." United States v. Nelson, 718 F.2d 315
