Magistrate Judge Andrew Peck of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York was correct in not recusing himself from the controversial Da Silva Moore, et al. v. Publicis Groupe SA and MSLGroup litigation, after plaintiffs asserted that he had conflicting interests in the use of predictive coding software, according to a November 7 order by U.S. District Judge Andrew Carter this week.
“On the basis of this Court’s review of the entire record, the Court is not persuaded that sufficient cause exists to warrant Magistrate Judge Peck’s disqualification,” Carter wrote. “Judge Peck’s decision accepting computer-assisted review … was not influenced by bias, nor did it create any appearance of bias.”
