P's peremptory challenge to judge should have been accepted where P's action, reassigned to that of another plaintiff who had already used a challenge, was not a continuation of first action.

Trial ct. erred in striking CCP 170.6 challenge on ground complaint related to prior action before same judge where 2d action not a continuation of 1st and complaint, filed 2 days after assignment, was timely.
