Judge Breen, was appointed from another county to sit in Santa Clara, over the plaintiffs’ objections, and he has now recused himself, too, after a showing of prima facie bias and challenge for cause. As things stand, the parents are trying desperately to get the case transferred back out of Santa Clara County, because they are being denied due process there; there is no judge of the court to grant discovery motions, no judge to appoint a guardian ad litem, no judge for emergency ex parte motions, and the Court has closed ranks against the Golins. Theoretically, Judge Breen was supposed to be able to grant any motions himself, but he has not been available to do so and would only come to court on scheduled motions days, and refused to go through with the appointment of a guardian ad litem for Nancy.

The Golins are complaining of total denial of their Constitutional due process rights under the 5th and 14th Amendments for themselves but especially for Nancy. They argue that the state’s method for choosing appointed judges when no other judge in the court is available to act invites abuse by allowing the attorney general to very easily judge-shop for a compliant or corrupt judicial officer, dangerously thinning the firewall between the judicial and executive branches.
