Ruling

CASE NUMBER: 25PG-0032838 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 confirmation of counsel and resetting of court trial regarding a Petition for Visitation filed by the mother of the minor’s sibling, Melissa Hagstrom. Attorney Melissa Fanoe has been appointed as counsel for the minor.

A new Notice of Hearing has been filed for today’s date; however, there is no valid proof of service for the Pit River Tribe. The proof of service filed on August 10, 2026, indicates service was untimely. The Pit River Tribe must be served at least 15 days before the hearing. Prob. Code § 1460.

The matter is continued to Monday, September 28, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. in Department 42 for further proceedings regarding confirmation of counsel and resetting of court trial. Petitioner is required to file and serve a new Notice of Hearing for the continued hearing date, along with a copy of the Petition, on the Pit River Tribe and file proof of service with the court. No appearance is necessary on today’s calendar.
