Having considered the petitioning papers, the Court rules as follows. 

BACKGROUND

On July 2, 2021, Plaintiff Leah Rayas (“Plaintiff”) filed this action against Defendant Super Center Concepts, Inc. (“Defendant”) for premises liability.

On September 13, 2021, Defendant filed an answer.

On January 27, 2023, Petitioner Robert Rayas (“Petitioner”) filed a Petition for Approval of Compromise of Claim or Action or Disposition of Proceeds of Judgment for Minor Plaintiff to be heard on February 2, 2023.

PARTY’S REQUESTS

Petitioner Robert Rayas asks the Court to approve the compromise of the pending action on behalf of Plaintiff Leah Rayas.

DISCUSSION

Section 12 is incorrectly filled out. In Section 12(a)(1), Petitioner states that total medical expenses before reductions equal $525.46. This directly conflicts with the information provided in Section 12(5)(b)(I), which states that Kaiser Permanente Alone charged $9,663.36. The Court denies the application.

Petition to Approve Compromise of Pending Action on Behalf of Minor Leah Rayas, filed by Petitioner Robert Rayas is DENIED.

Petitioner is ordered to give notice of this ruling.

Petitioner is ordered to file the proof of service of this ruling with the Court within five days.
