For anyone confused by this headline, there are two trials this judge is considering for X

[O'Conner] was overseeing two lawsuits filed by X and recused himself from only one of the cases.

This isn't the new case about the "illegal boycott" O'Conner has recused himself from that trial (likely) because he also owns stock in Unilever, one of the defending companies

Ah this makes more sense. I thought I had heard about a recusal.

Yeah the news of this non-recusal came too soon after the other recusal. Very confusing timeline if you didn't know there were two cases
