The Court excuses the personal appearance of Claimant and the guardian ad litem. Counsel may appear by telephone or video conference call.¿¿¿¿

¿¿¿

The Court has reviewed the Petition to Approve Compromise of Pending Action of Timothy John Rose, an adult with a disability. The application is denied for the following reasons:¿¿

Attachment 11b(6) must be filed explaining reasons for the apportionment of the settlement payments between the claimant and each other plaintiff.
Form MC-355, Order to Deposit Money into Blocked Account, Must be submitted.

The Court has considered the Declaration in support of the fee request. The Court finds that on the current record, and in consideration of the factors set forth in Cal Rules of Court, Rule 7.955(b), a fee of 25% of the gross settlement is more reasonable. The Court recommends reducing the attorney’s fees to that amount.¿

Claimant is hereby ordered to correct the deficiencies noted above no less than 5 days prior to the new court date set below. Failure to do so may result in sanctions.¿¿

THE COURT SETS AN OSC RE MINOR COMPROMISE ON APRIL ____, 2024, IN DEPARTMENT 27 AT 8:30 AM. ¿¿
