Ruling
CASE NUMBER: CVPG18-0029493 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 to Remove Co-Guardian, Michael Joiner. The Court notes Mr. Joiner has been suspended as Co-Guardian pending further order of the Court. Proof of service has been filed for the siblings Saprina and Kristina. The Court will dispense with notice to the mother, father, maternal grandmother. There is no proof of service of the Notice of Hearing and Petition for the minor or sibling Jordan.
