Thulin v. Superior Court
After the commencement of trial in the action brought by Sidney Thulin to dissolve his marriage to Karen Thulin, Karen joined a third party who claimed an interest in property that allegedly belonged to the community. The third party filed a peremptory challenge against the trial judge, which was accepted as timely. Karen filed a petition for relief from the order, claiming the challenge was untimely because trial had begun. Court notified the parties we were considering the issuance of a peremptory writ of mandate in the first instance, and all parties filed a response. After reviewing the parties’ arguments and the case law, court found the challenge was untimely and granted the petition.
