GUARDIANSHIP OF IVAN RAMIREZ

CASE NUMBER: 26PG-0033434 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 hearing on a Petition for Appointment of Guardian of the Person. The Petition was filed by the minor’s sister, Isela Ramirez. Letters of Temporary Guardianship were not requested.

A new Notice of Hearing has not been filed and served for today’s date. There is no proof of service of the Notice of Hearing and Petition for the minor, mother, father, maternal grandparents, paternal grandparents, or sibling Karina. Insufficient information has been provided to permit the Court to dispense with notice to these parties. The Court has reviewed the memorandum received on August 3, 2026, which indicates that Petition intends to dismiss her Petition. A request for dismissal has not been submitted.

Considering the memorandum and Petitioner’s failure to file and serve the documents necessary to move forward, the Petition is DENIED without prejudice. Considering the allegations in the Petition and Court Investigator’s inability to communicate with the minor, the Court will refer this matter to Children’s Services. The matter is continued to Monday, September 28, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. in Department 42 for status of the referral to Children’s Services. No appearance is necessary on today’s calendar.
