23CMCP00192 In the Matter of: Dominique Jasmine Jolly

Thursday, February 22, 2024, 8:30 a.m.

[TENTATIVE] DENYING THE PETITION FOR CHANGE OF NAME

       The court has considered the Petition filed on October 19, 2023, by Dominique Jasmine Jolly to change name to Jasmine Dominique Jolly because Petitioner is under a protection order, believes she is in danger, and is the victim of “severe identity theft”.  Petitioner is over the age of 18. The Criminal History Assessment does not reflect any substantial reason for denying the petition.

       This is the third petition for a name change filed by Petitioner. In Case No. 22CMCP00128 filed on July 29, 2022, Petitioner filed two petitions but both were dismissed for failure to submit proof of publication of the order to show cause.

       This Court continued the hearing on this petition from January 4, 2024 because the Court’s file did not reflect that Petitioner complied with the requirements for publication of the Order to Show Cause or otherwise explain why she is exempt from the requirements for publication. (Code Civ. Proc., § 1277 subd. (a)(2)(A).

       As Petitioner did not comply with the foregoing requirements, the Petition is DENIED.
