Petition for Appointment of Guardian of the Person; confirmation of counsel
CASE NUMBER: 26PG-0033257 Disclosure Re: guardianship cases involving Shasta County Health and Human Services Agency-Judge Wood discloses that her step-daughter, Erinn Watts, is the Administrative Branch Director of the Health and Human Services Agency. In that position, Judge Wood’s step-daughter does not have any involvement in the investigation, management, prosecution or defense of guardianship cases. However, the Court makes this disclosure of an employment relationship between an investigating agency and the Court’s first degree relative as required by California Code of Judicial Ethics.
This matter is on calendar for further proceedings on a Petition for Appointment of Guardian of the Person. The Petition was filed by the minors’ grandmother, Amy Rodgers. Letters of Temporary Guardianship were requested but denied pending hearing. This matter is also on calendar for confirmation of counsel.
The Court previously determined the matter to be properly noticed. No objections have been raised. ICWA notification has been given and no tribe has requested to intervene in this matter. The Court has reviewed and considered the Court Investigator’s report filed on March 24, 2206, which states that the investigation could not establish a sufficient basis to support guardianship. Considering the report, Attorney Kristin Anderson was appointed as counsel for the minors. An appearance is necessary on today’s calendar to confirm appointment and for setting of a contested hearing.
