What is the test for reconsideration of an order made by one judge of the same court?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from International Ins. Co. v. Superior Court (Rhone- Poulenc Basic Chemicals Co.), 62 Cal.App.4th 784, 72 Cal.Rptr.2d 849 (Cal. App. 1998):

2 Although an order made by one judge ordinarily cannot be reconsidered by another judge of the same court, the unavailability of the first judge (such as by retirement) authorizes a new judge to entertain the reconsideration motion (Ziller Electronics Lab GmbH v. Superior Court (1988) 206 Cal.App.3d 1222, 1232, 254 Cal.Rptr. 410).
