settlement reached between said minors and the defendant Butte County. All other defendants 

have been previously dismissed, original plaintiff Teri James is no longer a plaintiff due to a 

summary judgment entered against her previously in this action, and as part of the agreement 

reached between the remaining defendants and plaintiffs the court was advised and has noted the 

entry of a dismissal of all individual defendant employees of Butte County. 

Based on the Petition For Minor’s Compromise (“Petition”), and the documents 

submitted in support thereof, and upon notice of the Statement of Non-Opposition filed on behalf 

of Butte County, the court finds the facts as set forth in the Petition to be true and correct, and 

that it is in the best interests of the minors that their claims against Butte County in this action be 

compromised and entered for the amount hereinafter stated as to said minors and that the 

proceeds of such Judgment be paid and used in the manner hereinafter specifically provided. 

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Butte County (“Payor”) make future periodic 

payments payable to the following individuals in the following amounts and on the following 

dates: 

 1. Payable to Samantha Weiland (“Payee”): 

 A. Lump sum payment of $21,585.00 payable on 01/28/2015. 

2. Payable to Amanda James (also “Payee”): 

A. $2,000.00 payable annually for four (4) years certain only, beginning 

10/02/2014. Last payment is due 10/02/2017. 

B. Lump sum payment of $71,960.00 payable on 10/02/2021. 

The precise future periodic payment amounts may vary slightly when the future periodic 

payments are ultimately funded, due to interest rate fluctuation and the time sensitivity of the 

investment.

It is understood that Payor will make a Non-Qualified Assignment to NABCO 

Assignments, Ltd. (“Assignee”) of these future periodic payment obligations, with a present 

value of $54,599.95 ($15,000 allocated to Samantha, and $39,599.95 allocated to Amanda). The 

Assignee shall fund the obligation for the periodic payments by the purchase of an annuity 

contract from Allstate Life Insurance Company. The Assignee shall be substituted as obligor of 

such payments for Payor, which shall be released from any further obligation to make said future 

periodic payments. It is understood that the Assignee shall be the sole owner of the annuity 

contract. None of the periodic payments (including the Claimant’s or Payee’s rights to such 

payments), or any portion thereof, may be accelerated, deferred, increased or decreased, 

anticipated, sold, assigned, pledged or encumbered by the Payee (or by any other person who 

becomes a recipient of periodic payments pursuant to the terms of the Non-Qualified Assignment 

Agreement or by operation of law), except as pursuant to a qualified order under IRC Section 

5891, and as amended. 

ORDERED that Butte County shall execute a Settlement Agreement and Release and a 

“Non- Qualified Assignment” and all parties shall cooperate fully and execute any and all 

supplementary documents and to take all additional actions which may be necessary or appropriate 

to give full force and effect to the basic terms and intent of the Settlement Agreement entered into 

by them, and this court order. 

IT IS SO ORDERED:
