BELIZARIO MERCADO, Plaintiff(s), v. FORD
MOTOR COMPANY, et al , Defendant(s). |
Case No.: 24STCV06602 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 September 30,
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 November 12, 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.
