Opinion
DABNEY, Acting P. J.
In this original proceeding we are asked to determine whether the Ontario Police Department, and its representative as custodian of the Department’s records, may exercise a peremptory challenge under Code of Civil Procedure section 170.6 to disqualify a judge assigned to hear a defendant’s motion for disclosure of a peace officer’s personal or otherwise confidential records and other information in the possession of the Department. We hold that the Department has no right or standing to exercise such a challenge, and issue the writ as prayed.
