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 October 8, 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 Case management conference will be continued to November 7, 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.
