2279 If a party who has appeared in an action wishes to peremptorily challenge a trial judge newly assigned to the case, it must file its challenge within 15 days of receiving notice of a change in the judge; however, a general notice sent by the clerk of the court to the firm representing a party to the action, but not addressed to the attorney handling it and making no reference to the case name or full case number, did not trigger the 15 day time period.
