The dispositive issue on this appeal involves a challenge to the authority of a presiding judge who signed a statement of decision and then entered judgment, pursuant to section 635 of the Code of Civil Procedure, after the trial judge who presided over the trial of the action retired without issuing such statement or judgment. No such authority exists. We reverse the judgment.
