Case Number: 22STCV11611    Hearing Date: August 8, 2022    Dept: 50

 

Superior Court of California

County of Los Angeles

Department 50

 

 

VERONICA RIVERA MENDIOLA,

                        Plaintiff(s),

            v.

 

SOLA REAL ESTATE FUND I, LLC, et al.,

                        Defendant(s).

 

  Case No.:  22STCV11611

 

    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 earlier this year, 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 has been or is being replaced. No litigation is 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 August 30, 2022, 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 Case Management Conference is continued to September 6, 2022, at 10:00 a.m. in Department 50 unless both 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.
