Gross Settlement Funds $ 100,000.00

Less Attorney’s Fees ($ 25,000.00)

Less Attorney’s Expenses ($ 4,101.46)

Less Expense Reimbursement to Guardian ($ 3,369.97)

Less Medical Liens ($ 8,002.25)

Net Proceeds to Plaintiff $ 59,526.32

The court finds that it is reasonable to anticipate that the 

minor will need ongoing counseling and medication, and approves the

establishment of an insured and blocked minor's trust money market

account with Edward Jones, a financial institution, at 4795

Caughlin Parkway, Suite 210, Reno, NV, 89519, John E. Boyd,

Licensed Financial Broker. Into this account shall be deposited

$7,500 of the Net Proceeds. Edward Jones is authorized to release

funds from this account, only to reimburse either Todd Broussard,

or Lori Broussard, for documented medical and prescription

expenses, incurred for the minor, until his age of majority, which

occurs on 12/23/12. Edward Jones is authorized to release funds

from the money market account upon presentation by either Todd or

Lori Broussard of paid receipts for prescription medication and/or

medical expenses incurred on the minor's behalf.

The balance of the minor's settlement funds, i.e., $52,026.32,

shall be deposited into a separate insured and blocked minor's

trust investment account with the same Edward Jones office, and

used to purchase a conservative mix of mutual funds selected by the

Co-Guardians ad Litem, pursuant to financial counsel from Edward

Jones.

The balances in each of the two Edward Jones blocked accounts,

including accrued interest and any gain, shall be available for

withdrawal by the minor when he reaches the age of 18.
