DocketDescription: Alternative writ or OSC issued.; Notes: TO THE SUPERIOR COURT OF LOS ANGELES COUNTY: The court has read and considered the petition for writ of mandate filed August 3, 2021. We tentatively conclude as follows. Because the motion for disqualification filed by petitioner was timely and does, on its face, state legal grounds for disqualification, it should be assigned to a different judge for decision pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 170.3, subdivision (c). Accordingly, you are ordered to either: (a) After hearing the parties' positions on the matter pursuant to Brown, Winfield & Canzoneri v. Superior Court (2010) 47 Cal.4th 1233, 1250, footnote 10, vacate your July 19, 2021 order striking the statement of disqualification and instead have the disqualification motion decided by another judge pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 170.3, subdivision (c); or (b) In the alternative, show cause before this court in its courtroom at 300 South Spring Street, Los Angeles, California 90013, on November 3, 2021, why a peremptory writ ordering you to do so should not issue. The return to the petition, if any, shall be filed on or before September 13, 2021. A reply to the return, if any, shall be filed on or before October 13, 2021. If you comply with this writ by selecting alternative (a) above, you are directed to provide this court with a copy of your minute order setting forth such compliance. Petitioner shall also provide this court with a copy of any such minute order upon receipt. All other trial court proceedings are stayed pending resolution of this matter or further order of this court. We express no opinion as to the merits of petitioner's motion for disqualification. WITNESS THE HONORABLE LAMAR BAKER, Acting Presiding Justice of Division Five of the Court of Appeal of the State of California, Second Appellate District. ATTEST my hand and the seal of this court this 16th day of August 2021.
