Opinion

THE COURT OF APPEALS OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON DIVISION ONE

JOHN HOAG and DELLA HOAG, husband and wife, and their marital No. 73792-9- community, r-1, C~>. Petitioners, DIVISION ONE 1

v. UNPUBLISHED OPINION

CAR WASH ENTERPRISES, INC., ro a Washington corporation or other business entity; and GARY KNIGHT and "PAT DOE" KNIGHT, and their marital community,

Respondents. FILED: October 5, 2015

PER CURIAM - John and Delia Hoag seek discretionary review under RAP

2.3(b)(1) of a July 7, 2015 trial court order denying their affidavit of prejudice and a July

15, 2015 order denying reconsideration. We have reviewed the motion and answer,

with appendices, and determined that review should be granted.

The trial court denied the Hoag's affidavit of prejudice on the ground that the

court had made a discretionary ruling. But the order amending case schedule was

before the court on a stipulation between the parties. See In re Marriage of Tve, 121

Wn. App. 817, 90 P.3d 1145 (2004), and State v. Parra. 122 Wn.2d 590, 859 P.2d 1231

(1993) (citing State ex rel. Floe v. Studebaker, 17 Wn.2d 8, 134 P.2d 718 (1943).

Because the Hoags filed their affidavit of prejudice before the trial court made any No. 73792-9-1/2

discretionary ruling, it was error to deny the affidavit of prejudice. Accordingly, the stay

is lifted, and we reverse and remand for further proceedings consistent with this order.

Reversed and remanded.

For the court:
