GUARDIANSHIP OF OLIVIA, SADIE & SANDRA KAMLA CASE NUMBER: 26PG-0033242 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’ great grandmother, Marilyn Reeves. Letters of Temporary Guardianship issued on February 19, 2026, and are set to expire today unless further extended.

The mother and maternal grandparents have consented to the guardianship and waived notice. The father has been personally served. The Court will dispense with notice to the paternal grandparents. The matter has been properly noticed. No objections have been raised. The paperwork appears to be in order. The Court will inquire whether the child is or may be an Indian child. If Petitioner has reason to know that the child is an Indian child, they must make further inquiry to learn about the child’s Indian heritage.

The Court has reviewed and considered the Court Investigator’s report filed on March 12, 2026, and agrees with the recommendation to grant the Petition. The Court FINDS it would be detrimental for the child to be with either parent or any parent objecting to the guardianship, the guardianship is in the child’s best interest, and the guardianship is necessary and convenient. The proposed guardian is suitable.

The Court GRANTS the Petition. Visitation shall be at the Guardian’s discretion. A proposed Order Appointing Guardian has been lodged and will be executed by the Court. Annual Review is set for Monday, May 17. 2027, at 8:30 a.m. in Department 42. A completed Confidential Guardianship Status Report (GC-251) must be submitted one (1) month prior to the hearing on the Annual Review pursuant to Probate Code § 1513.2
