ORDER RE: EXPEDITED PETITION TO APPROVE COMPROMISE OF MINOR

 

Dept. 27

1:30 p.m.

October 21, 2022

 

Claimant Sasha Yansen (“Claimant”), a minor, by and through his parent, Dominique LaPage (“Petitioner”), has agreed to settle his claims against Lauren Wolf in exchange for $29,000.00.  If approved, $3,000.00 will be used to pay medical expenses, $10,150.00 will be used to pay attorney’s fees, and $260.50 for non-medical expenses, leaving a balance of $15,589.50 for Claimant, to be deposited into an insured account, subject to withdrawal only upon authorization of the court.

On August 18, 2022, the Court issued a minute order and identified certain deficiencies with the petition.  The Court then set a hearing on this petition to allow Petitioner to file a revised Petition, Proposed Order, and Proposed Order re Blocked Account.  The Court ordered Petitioner to file the revised documents not later than 10 days before the hearing.  However, only a proposed order approving the compromise was filed on August 26, 2022.  The proposed order is also deficient because it fails to complete Item 9a, 9c(2), and 11. 

The Court CONTINUES the hearing to December 16, 2022 at 1:30 p.m. so that a revised Petition, Proposed Order, and Proposed Order re Blocked Account may be filed.  The documents should be filed not later than 10 days before the hearing.
