MARYANN HAAS, Plaintiff(s), v. KIA AMERICA, INC., et al , Defendant(s). |
Case No.: 23STCV16899 DISCLOSURE AND
ORDER |
Judge
Beaudet hereby discloses that approximately 24 years ago, she and her husband
purchased a pickup truck for her husband’s use that he recalled 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 May 28, 2024, 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 Status Conference re
Completion of Mediation or other form of ADR will be continued to July
11, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. in Department 50 unless both 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.
