1104.07000 – Bias or Prejudice/Motion to Disqualify
Alleged bias against a legal representative, rather than a party, is insufficient grounds for disqualification of ALJ under PERB Regulation 32155(a)(4). Mere existence of a lawsuit filed by legal representative in which ALJ was named, without proof of service or actual notice, fails to demonstrate "prejudice" under PERB Regulation 32155(a)(4) and does not meet the Gonzales standard of a "fixed anticipatory prejudgment" on part of ALJ.
