Judge: Serena R. Murillo, Case: 20STCV14042, Date: 2023-04-07 Tentative Ruling

Case Number: 20STCV14042    Hearing Date: April 7, 2023    Dept: 29

TENTATIVE

The Court has reviewed the Expedited Petitions to Approve Minor’s Compromise (Caroline Guevara, age 15; and Elvis Galdamez, age 15). The Court declines to approve the Petitions as requested. Pursuant to Cal Rules of Court 7.950.5(c)(3), the Court elects to schedule a hearing date to permit counsel to correct the following defects:

(1)  The proposed order granting the petition for Caroline is missing attachment 8a(3), which would provide information about additional medical payees. Based on the reduction agreements attached to the petition, it appears medical expenses for Caroline amount to $3,355.68, and not $3,455.68. However, without attachment 8a(3), the Court cannot definitively determine the correct figure at this time.

(2)  Defendants have not been served with the petitions.

Accordingly, the Court schedules a hearing on this petition for  at 8:30 a.m. in Department SS-29. Counsel is ordered to correct the defects pertaining to Caroline’s proposed order and serve Defendants with the petitions, then file proof of service.

Matter is continued to May 11, 2023 at 10:00 a.m.  Moving party is ordered to give notice.
