When a cause is assigned from the master calendar, can the judge supervising the assignment be challenged at the earliest reasonable opportunity?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Waldon v. Superior Court, 196 Cal.App.3d 809, 241 Cal.Rptr. 123 (Cal. App. 1987):
When a cause is assigned from a master calendar the challenge must be made to the judge supervising the master calendar at the time of assignment. This court has held that an all purpose assignment should be challenged at the earliest reasonable opportunity, namely when the judge's identity becomes known. (Augustyn v. Superior Court (1986) 186 Cal.App.3d 1221, 1229, 231 Cal.Rptr. 298.)
