   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
   [PUBLISHED] [Melloy, Author, with Gruender and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - Civil procedure. District court erred in denying plaintiffs'
   motion for recusal, and the court's order dismissing the case as a sanction
   for abuse of discovery is vacated; on remand, the case should be assigned
   to a new judge, and that judge should reconsider the defendant's motion
   for sanctions. Judge Gruender, dissenting.
