Judge: Steven A. Ellis, Case: 19STCV29444, Date: 2023-08-03 Tentative Ruling

Case Number: 19STCV29444    Hearing Date: August 25, 2023    Dept: 29

TENTATIVE¿ 

¿ 

The Court excuses the personal appearance of Claimant and the guardian ad litem.  Counsel may appear by telephone or video conference call.¿¿ 

On July 6, 2023, the Court issued a minute order continuing the petition to confirm compromise of minor X.M., age 15, to August 3, 2023.  The Court found the settlement is reasonable, however counsel has not shown how the medical expenses were covered.  If there was an agreement to waive medical expenses, counsel must file a copy of that agreement.  The Court ordered counsel to file a copy of the reduction agreement for medical expenses.

On August 3, 2023, the Court issued a minute order continuing the petition again to August 25, 2023.  The Court noted that counsel has yet to file a copy of the reduction agreement for medical expenses and ordered counsel to do so.

Plaintiff has complied and filed correspondence from The Rawlings Company on behalf of Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc. confirming they are closing this file and no longer pursuing reimbursement.  Therefore, the Court GRANTS the petition to confirm minor’s compromise.

Moving party is ordered to give notice.
