JOHN J. JAMGOTCHIAN.,

                        Plaintiff(s),

            v.

 

MERCURY INSURANCE COMPANY, et al.,

                        Defendant(s).

 

  Case No.:  23STCV13350

 

    DISCLOSURE AND ORDER

 

           

Judge Beaudet hereby discloses that she had a claim with Allstate Insurance for water damage that occurred at her home in October 2016.  The claim was paid.  There was no dispute or litigation.  Judge Beaudet does not believe that her claim with Allstate will cause her to be biased for or against any party in this case.  After discussion with Court counsel, 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 April 2, 2024 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.

    Unless there is a waiver by all parties as to this disclosure, the Case Management Conference will be continued to June 18, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. in Department 50.

Plaintiff is ordered to give notice of this Disclosure and Order, including notice to any new parties who are added to the case and to file proof of service of same promptly after service. Any new party has 14 calendar days from the date of service to file the Statement in Department 50.
