Case Number: 21STCV17191    Hearing Date: August 18, 2023    Dept: 30

JULIE KIM, et al. vs MARIA MONTOYA, M.D., et al.

Re:  Petition to Confirm Minor's Compromise

Tentative: Petitioner’s requests for approval of pending action for Claimants Jude C., Jaxon C., and Josiah C. are CONTINUED to allow Petitioner time to address the following deficiencies: (1) describe with further specificity or substantiate the requested amount of attorneys’ costs; and (2) file a MC-355 form as to each Claimant.  Judicial Assistant is to calendar a hearing 60 days to a date convenient to Court and parties.  Moving party to give notice.

Discussion:

Petitioner has failed to file a MC-355 form for each Claimant as required.

COSTS

Counsel seek reimbursement for “Attorneys’ costs” without further description or substantive evidence of such costs.  Without a description of costs, the Court cannot determine if the requested unspecified costs are allowable.
