MOTION FOR GOOD FAITH SETTLEMENT 

Hearing Date: 6/18/24 

CASE NO./NAME: 22STCV08244 NOUR M ZOLFEGHARI vs RONNIE DAYS 

Moving Party: Defendants Markus Fields and Robert Weston 

Responding Party: Unopposed 

Notice: Sufficient 

Ruling: MOTION FOR GOOD FAITH SETTLEMENT IS GRANTED 

 

An unopposed motion for determination of good faith settlement need not contain a full and complete discussion of the Tech-Bilt factors (Tech-Bilt, Inc. v. Woodward-Clyde & Associates (1985) 38 Cal.3d 488) by declaration or affidavit; rather, a bare bones motion setting forth the grounds of good faith and a declaration containing a brief background of the case is sufficient.¿ (City of Grand Terrace v. Superior Court (1987) 192 Cal.App.3d 1251, 1261.)¿¿¿ 

¿¿ 

The present motion is unopposed, and there are no other filings objecting to the settlement at issue. The motion demonstrates that the settlement agreement was reached in good faith. It also contained a brief background of the case. The moving party has made a sufficient showing. Thus, Settling Defendants’ Motion for Determination of Good Faith Settlement IS GRANTED¿
