Judge: Teresa A. Beaudet, Case: 21STCV03286, Date: 2023-03-14 Tentative Ruling



Case Number: 21STCV03286    Hearing Date: March 14, 2023    Dept: 50

Superior Court of California

County of Los Angeles

Department 50

 

 

MARC SAVAS,

                        Plaintiff(s),

            v.

 

STATE FARM GENERAL INSURANCE COMPANY, et al.,

                        Defendant(s).

 

  Case No.:  21STCV03286

 

    DISCLOSURE AND ORDER

 

           

Judge Beaudet hereby discloses that she is the trustor and sole beneficiary of a trust that owns certain rental units.  Due to some water leaks in approximately spring of 2022, it was determined that surface mold had developed where the water had leaked.  Inspections by a remediation company hired by the trust found no difference between the air inside the units and the air outside the units. The area where the mold was found was replaced. No litigation or insurance claims were involved with these units. Judge Beaudet does not believe that this situation will cause her to be biased for or against any party in this case. Judge Beaudet does not believe that there are any legal grounds for recusal, and she notes that she has both a statutory and ethical duty to preside over any case in which she is not disqualified.  However, if you believe differently, you will have until March 21, 2023, to file IN DEPT 50 (not the filing window) and serve a verified statement of disqualification per CCP §170.3(c)(1) (the “Statement”).  If you do not file and serve a Statement, grounds for recusal will be deemed waived.

    The hearing on the Objections to Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment and the setting of the date for the hearing of the MSJ is continued to April 11, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. in Department 50 unless all sides waive the right to file the Statement. Plaintiff is ordered to give notice of this Disclosure to any new parties who are added to the case and to file proof of service of same promptly after service, with a courtesy copy delivered to Department 50. Any new party has 14 calendar days from the date of service to file and serve the Statement per section CCP 170.3.
