    DISCLOSURE AND ORDER

 

           

Judge Beaudet hereby discloses that approximately 22 years ago, she and her husband purchased a pickup truck for her husband’s use that he recalls was either a Dodge or Chrysler pickup; Judge Beaudet does not remember the maker of the pickup.  The pickup developed electrical problems.  Judge Beaudet’s husband took the pickup in to the dealer many times for the same electrical problem.  The pickup was tested with some device while it was operating, and eventually, the manufacturer and the dealer agreed to take the pickup back and refund the purchase price.  No litigation was involved.  Judge Beaudet does not believe that her experience will cause her to be biased for or against either party.  However, if you believe differently, you will have until Tuesday, August 30, 2022, to file and serve a verified statement of disqualification per section CCP 170.3(c)(1) (the “Statement”).  If you do not file and serve a Statement, grounds for recusal will be deemed waived. The Case Management Conference will be continued to Tuesday, September 6, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. in Department 50 unless all parties appearing at the hearing waive the right to file the Statement.

If Defendant does not appear at the hearing, Plaintiff is ordered to give notice of this Disclosure to Defendant when served or, if already served, today via email, and to file proof of service of same promptly after service, with a courtesy copy delivered to Department 50. Defendant will then have 7 calendar days from the date of service to file and serve the Statement per section CCP 170.3.
