CASE NAME/NUMBER: 

20STCV10556 GEORGE T. SANCHEZ, et al. vs CHARLES PATRIK LEONARD, et al. 

PETITION TO APPROVE COMPROMISE OF PENDING ACTION OF A MINOR 

CHLOE L. SANCHEZ, Age 11 

RECOMMENDATION: 

Deny. 

 

TENTATIVE¿ 

¿ 

First, there is no guardian ad litem appointed for minor claimant Chloe L. Sanchez (“Claimant”). 

 

Second, and more importantly, CRC, rule 7.950 provides that a petition for minor’s compromise is for a pending action or proceeding to which a minor is a party. Here, Claimant is not a party to this case, and the Court is unclear as to the basis for bringing the petition.  

 

Unless Petitioner can provide a legal basis for the petition brought on behalf of a non-party to the action, the Court declines to review the petition.  

 

Moving party is ordered to give notice.
