Wanless v. Superior Court
In this matter we have reviewed the petition and the responses thereto. We have determined that resolution of the matter involves the application of settled principles of law, and furthermore that issuance of an alternative writ of mandate would cause undue delay in resolving the matter. We therefore issue a peremptory writ in the first instance. (Code Civ. Proc., 1088; Palmav.U.S. Industrial Fasteners, Inc. (1984) 36 Cal.3d 171, 178-179; Alexanderv.Superior Court (1993) 5 Cal.4th 1218, 1222-1223.)First, we find that Judge Randall White properly struck petitioners statement challenging him for cause. The judges prior rulings do not constitute a valid basis for disqualification.
