1 .1 ' 'O O
1 DECLARATION OF LANCE S. SPIEGEL

3 I, LANCE S. SPIEGEL, hereby declare as follows:

5 1. Declarant represents Respondent in the above matter. On October 2, 2020,

6 Judge Riff denied without prejudice Respondent’s ex parte application for authorization to

7 proceed with the evidentiary hearing scheduled for October 5, 2020. This declaration is

8 submitted in response to the Court’s comment that the previous ex parte application

9 failed to make a showing of irreparable harm, immediate danger or other statutory basis

ä 10 for granting relief with shortened notice to the other party.

. M
g‘ 12 2. The subject matter of the evidentiary hearing is exclusively Iimited to legal

ää ä ä ä 13 and physical custody of five minor children. lt is respectfully requested that the Court take

gä ä 14 judicial notice of the contents of the file, including Respondent’s RFO filed under seal

2 g ä ä i? 15 pursuant to previously issued sealing orders designed to protect the privacy rights of the

ää 16 minor children. As may be seen therefrom, the pending RFO includes allegations that

m 17 there has been a failure to comply with existing court orders involving the welfare of the

18 minor children.

19

20 3. As previously noted, the case is pending before Temporary Judge John W.

21 Ouderkirk and is scheduled for 15 days. On or about August 7, 2020, Petitioner filed a

g 22 Statement to disqualify Judge Ouderkirk. On August 18, 2020, Judge Ouderkirk filed a

E‘: 23 written verified answer denying the allegations in the Statement. lt is respectfully

24 requested that the Court take judicial notice of the contents of the file to confirm that the

25 disqualification issue has been assigned to the Honorable Erick L. Larsh.

In re Marriage of JOLIE-PITT; LASC No: so 646 05s


.l " 1 ’O O
1 4. In addition to the circumstances involved in this case, Respondent contends

2 that there is no authority for application of General Order 2020-GEN-021-O0 (“the General

3 Order”) to an evidentiary hearing that will be conducted virtuaIIy‚ outside of the public

4 courthouse, and will not expose employees‚ parties, witnesses orjudicial officers to health

5 risks . The express purpose of the General Order (“to rotect the health and well-beln of

6 Iitiants attornes Court workers "udicial officers and others who enter the courthouse
7 durin the COVID-19 andemic“) does not apply to the evidentiary hearing that is currently

8 scheduled in this case. Other than declarant being compelled to appear in Dept. 2 for this

9 ex parte application (my first appearance slnce March, 2020), there are no COVID

g 10 lmplications to consider in determining whether the evidentiary hearing should be subject

_ ä ä» 11 to the General Order. Because the General Order does not apply, lt should not be weighed

g’ 12 against the prejudice of further delay described below.

2:2: ä ä 14 5. The overriding basis for ex parte relief involves the need to address the best

9äää5 15 interests ofthe minor children and the concerns discussed in the pending RFO. Pursuant

2g 16 to Famil Code section 3023, lf custody is the sole contested issue, the case shall be

m 17 given preference over other civil cases for assigning the a trial date and scheduling of a

18 hearing. The circumstances for lrreparable harm and ex parte relief with shortened notlce

19 in this case also include the following: The parties are at risk of Iosing substantial costs

20 previously advanced in anticipation of the hearing. As required by agreements with the

21 offices of the Temporary Judge (ARC), substantial funds have been advanced to the

22 Temporary Judge, expert witnesses and court reporters by both parties in order to reserve

1 ‘ä 23 the 15 hearing dates; over 15 witnesses have been subpoenaed for trial, including

24 approximately 6 expert witnesses; and in order to complete discovery in September,

w 25 substantial expenses were incurred in expediting deposition transcripts and payments to

l 26 expert witnesses, and court reporters. Based on calendars of the Temporary Judge,

i 27 Counsel and the experts, unless the case is allowed to proceed as scheduled, the custody
28 issues will remain in indefinite Iimbo for no reason.

In re Marriage of JOLIE-PITT; LASC No: BD 646 05a


1 6. The only impact of the pending request to disqualify Judge Ouderkirk is that

2 it will be necessary to reschedule dates that are currently being lost pending the ruling on

3 the disqualification issue. Pursuant to an email dated October, 2, 2020, Judge Ouderkirk

4 is trailing the matter on a daily basis pending receipt of a ruling. A copy of his email is

5 attached as Exhibit A.

7 7. Written and Telephonic Notice of this ex parte application was given to

8 Petitioner’s Counsel before 10:00 a.m. on October 5, 2020.

v 10 I declare under penalty of perjury of the Iaws of the state of California that the

ää 11 foregoing is true and correct and that if called upon to testify as a witness, I could and
D: ‘d g o

d" 12 would competently testify thereto.

Dear Counsel,

I have not received any ruling on the Disqualification issue. Has Department 2
authorized the commencement of a hearing estimated to exceed 5 days? Pending the
resolution of those issues, the hearing is ordered to trail from day to day, on the
reserved dates, starting on Tuesday, October 6, 2020.

Judge John Ouderkirk, Ret.

Subject: Jolie and Pitt

No ruling has been issued on the disqualification request. As a result, it is not possible to start the hearing on
Monday. In the absence of contrary direction from Judge Ouderkirk , the remaining reserved dates should continue to
be held and the trial will trail on a daily basis pending the ruling.
