RECOMMENDATION: | CONDITIONAL GRANT |
TENTATIVE¿
¿
The Court excuses the personal appearance of Claimant and the guardian ad litem. Counsel may appear by telephone or video conference call.¿
Preliminary, Petitioner filed two expedited petitions for claimant Justin Sahnazoglu (“Claimant”) on February 6, 2024; the Court will review only the later timestamped petition.
Plaintiffs agreed to settle their claims against Defendants for the total amount of $28,500, with $1,500 being apportioned to Claimant. If the settlement is approved, $308 will be used for costs. The net balance of $1,192 will be delivered to Karolin Sahnazoglu, the parent of Claimant.
The Court reviews the settlement and finds it fair and reasonable. However, the Court is unable to locate the Order Approving Compromise (MC-351). Based on the foregoing, the petition is CONDITIONALLY GRANTED upon Petitioner filing MC-351 for Claimant.
Moving party is ordered to give notice.
