GUARDIANSHIP OF EMILIO, JULIO & SERGIO RAMOS CASE NUMBER: 24PG-0032518 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 Termination of Guardianship filed by the mother, Dorothy McLaughlin. A new Notice of Hearing has not been filed and served for today’s date. There is still no valid proof of service for the Public Defender. The Guardian previously filed an objection. The Court has reviewed the Court Investigator’s report filed on January 21, 2026, which recommends the Court deny the Petition. In light of Petitioner’s failure to file and serve the documents necessary to move forward, the Petition is DENIED without prejudice.

This matter is also on calendar for further proceedings on a Petition for Visitation filed by the minor’s parent, Jose Ramos. The Court previously noted that the Public Defender had not been served with Mr. Ramos’ Petition. The proof of service for the Public Defender filed on April 30, 2026, states that a “Declaration and Proof of Service of Petition for Vistiation” were served. This is insufficient. The Public Defender is required to be served with a copy of the Notice of Hearing and Petition for Visitation.

The matter is continued to Monday, June 22, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. in Departmetn 42 for further proceedings regarding the Petition for Visitation. Petitioner is required to file and serve a new Notice of Hearing for the continued hearing date, along with a copy of the Petition, for the Public Defender. Proof of service is required to be filed.
