GUARDIANSHIP OF JURON & JOSIAH ANDERSON

GUARDIANSHIP OF JURON & JOSIAH ANDERSON 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 Persons. The Petition was filed by the minors’ grandmother, Amy Rodgers. Letters of Temporary Guardianship were requested but denied pending hearing.

The parents have been personally served. There is proof of service for the maternal grandparents. There is no proof of service for the paternal grandfather or siblings, Johnae and Johnia. Insufficient information has been provided to permit the Court to dispense with notice to these parties. The remaining parties may be served by mail. Prob. Code § 1511(c). Alternatively, the above parties can sign a consent and waiver of notice (GC-211, section 4), in lieu of being served.

A new GC-248 has been filed to address the issues raised on April 6, 2026. Although ICWA notification has been given and no tribe has requested to intervene in this matter, amended Indian Child Inquiry Attachments (form ICWA-010 (A)) have not been filed as previously ordered. The ICWA-010(A) previously filed indicates an insufficient inquiry has been made regarding the children’s Indian status. Petitioner is required to ask the children, the children’s parents, and any other required and available person about the children’s Indian status. Petitioner is again ORDERED to complete and file a new ICWA-010(A). If any additional information is obtained through the subsequent inquiry, Petitioner is ORDERED to complete and file and amended Notice of Child Custody Proceeding for Indian Child (form ICWA-030).

This matter is continued to Monday, June 22, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. in Department 42 for further proceedings on the Petition. 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 parties identified above. In the alternative, if Petitioner cannot serve the parties identified, the Court will require a declaration explaining in detail all efforts of Petitioner to locate and serve them and why they cannot be served, to permit the Court to dispense with notice. Warning: Failure to properly effect service or provide adequate basis to dispense with service as to the necessary parties will result in denial of the Petition. Notice is preserved. No appearance is necessary on today’s calendar.
