LETICIA HUANTE, et al. vs LINDA X. NGEYEN

20STCV16987

Petition to Approve Minor's Compromise

Ruling: Continued for Counsel to Correct Deficiencies 60 days.

Counsel for Plaintiffs to appear to confer with the Judicial Assistant Re: Continuance date.

Moving party to give notice.

Rationale:

Petitioner submitted an outdated version of form MC-351 from 2010. Petitioner must submit updated forms.

Petitioner submitted an outdated version of form MC-355 from 2007. Petitioner must submit updated forms.

Counsel indicated in Item 17c of form MC-350 that he does not expect to receive attorney’s fees in this action. However, Counsel represents the other Plaintiffs in this action. If Counsel intends to collect attorney’s fees from the other Plaintiffs, he must state so and how much in this item.

Note:

Plaintiff Ashley Huante is also a minor. There is no minor’s comp. petition for her. Even though the settlement amount is less than $5,000 for a minor, a minor’s comp. is still needed to be filed. Settlements of less than $5,000 may be transferred directly to the parent, but they still need a minor’s compromise. petition.
