¿
The Court excuses the personal appearance of Claimant and the guardian ad litem. Counsel may appear by telephone or video conference call.¿
Plaintiffs have agreed to settle their claims against Defendant for the total amount of $66,001, with $1,001 being apportioned to Kaydence Johnson-Nash (“Claimant”). If the settlement is approved, $250.25 will be used for attorneys’ fees, and $82.02 will be used for costs. The net balance of $668.73 will be delivered to Nycole Johnson, the parent of Claimant.
The Court has reviewed the settlement and finds it fair and reasonable.¿The Court also finds the attorneys’ fees fair and reasonable, in that it amounts to 25% of Claimant’s settlement. The petition is therefore GRANTED.
Moving party is ordered to give notice.
