23CMCP00156 In the Matter of:  Valeria Citlalli Leyva a minor, by and through her Guardian ad Litem, Gabriela C. Huitzil

Friday, February 9, 2024, at 8:30 a.m.

[TENTATIVE] ORDER DENYING THE PETITION FOR CHANGE OF NAME

      Petitioner, Valeria Citlalli Leyva, a minor, by and through her mother, Gabriela C. Huitzil, filed this Petition for an Order for Change of Name to Valeria Citlalli Barrera. 

      The Court first heard this petition on October 24, 2023, and continued it to December 7, 2023, since Petitioner did not comply with the requirements for publication of the order to show cause and only one parent consented to the name change. Petitioner was ordered to serve the other parent with the Order to Show Cause at least 30 days before the continued hearing date. (Code Civ. Proc., § 1277(a)(4).) The hearing was again continued to this date for Petitioner to comply with the Court’s order. As Petitioner has not complied with the Court’s October 24, 2023 order, the Petition is DENIED.
