Case Number: 22STCV33346    Hearing Date: March 8, 2023    Dept: 50

Superior Court of California

County of Los Angeles

Department 50

 

LOS ANGELES COUNTY METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY,

 

                        Plaintiff(s),

            v.

CENTURY CITY MALL, LLC., et al ,

                        Defendant(s).

 

  Case No.: 22STCV33346

 

    DISCLOSURE AND ORDER

 

           

 

Judge Beaudet hereby discloses that her IRA account holds 100 shares of stock in Howmet Aerospace Inc. valued at $4,335.00.  Howmet was not identified as a defendant in the complaint but it filed a disclaimer of interest on 3/6/23 indicating that it was formerly known as Arconic which was formerly known as Alcoa Inc. which was formerly known as Aluminum Company of America. The latter two entities were named in the complaint. Because Howmet is disclaiming any interest in this litigation, Judge Beaudet does not believe that her ownership in her IRA of the Howmet stock requires her to recuse herself. Additionally, she does not believe that her ownership in her IRA of the Howmet stock will cause her to be biased for or against any party in this litigation. However, if you believe differently, you will have until April 6, 2023, 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 hearing on the Case Management Conference will be continued to April 20, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. in Department 50 unless all parties 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.

 

DATED:  March 8, 2023                                               _____________________________
