For unknown reasons, the judge in the civil lawsuit against Casey Anthony recused himself from the case on Friday.
Judge Jose Rodriguez made the announcement shortly after the 8 a.m. hearing began, reports CBS affiliate WKMG.
Zenaida Gonzalez, who shares the same name as a fictitious babysitter whom Casey Anthony claimed kidnapped her daughter Caylee in 2008, is suing Anthony for defamation.
The move came after Anthony's attorney called for a sidebar, where attorneys from both sides talked with the judge for about 15 minutes.
Gonzalez's attorney, John Morgan, said he did not request the recusal, WKMG reports.
Morgan was expected to argue Friday that Anthony should be deposed before she is released from jail Sunday. He filed the motion Wednesday requiring Anthony attend a deposition either on July 19 or before Sunday's scheduled release from the Orange County Jail.
Morgan is concerned that Anthony will not show up for a scheduled deposition next Tuesday and he wants a judge to force her to appear, reports the station.
A timetable for a decision is not known.

No justice for Zenaida.
“The move came after Anthony’s attorney called for a sidebar”
Imagine that?! /s
The term “Hounds from Hell” comes to mind.
Zenaida Gonzalez, who shares the same name as a fictitious babysitter whom Casey Anthony claimed kidnapped her daughter Caylee in 2008, is suing Anthony for defamation.It'll be dismissed on the grounds that no one believed her story anyway.
What is going on?
She lost her job and apartment when Casey accused her of taking the baby.
The media will be devastated.
Ping
What is wrong with people? This woman Zaneida, was smeared all over the news, everywhere. She had police looking for her too. She was considered a kidnapper.
Not until the trial did Casey, through Jose Baez, admit there was no Zaneida Gonzales.
Everyone surrounding Casey has been smeared and accused.
Casey walks with no punishment for the lives she screwed with or her dead baby in the swamp.
He called in the jury from another county...something that has NEVER been done before. IMHO it was 11 airheads and 1 plant!!

You are exactly right...
Jose the streetfighter Baez will have her out or there before Casey can be deposed. Wonder where she goes? CA?
criminal act accusation is defamation per se.
all she has to do to establish victory is to show she could not have possibliy kidnapped the child.
As fore evading in bankruptcy, she just needs to show it arrises out of a criminal act. (the four lies convictions) Then it MIGHT survive a bankruptcy.
I heard she could possibly go to Puerto Rico because Baez has connections there.
Give me a break. Zeneida Gonzalez is just one of many who are jumping on the money and fame bandwagon. Casey Anthony was found not guilt by a jury and the defense did a heroic job of defending her.
Really getting sick of the leeches who just won’t shut up. If Casey Anthony has anything to answer for, a higher authority will take up the case when she passes on.
Will it be possible for Casey to escape the deposition if she leaves the state on Sun?
she has already been served.
if she evades discovery her pleadings may be sticken and an default entered against her.
"Unknown reasons, my ass. Probably just sick and tired of all the publicity, lies, and bullshit attached to the case. Probably thought, "Enough is enough...bye, bye".
I find it interesting how many people who say they are sick of this case are jumping on you and even bothering to look at this thread.
Those that are “sick of it” can just get lost ya big dummies.
