JOSE AGUILAR, Plaintiff(s), v. KIA
AMERICA, INC., et al , Defendant(s). |
Case No.: 23STCV28432 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 April 2,
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
Case Management Conference will be continued to June 13, 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.
