ACCOUNT; AFFORDING PETITIONER

OPPORTUNITY TO SUPPLEMENT EX

PARTE PETITION

Before the Court is petitioner Francisca Ramirez’s “Ex Parte Petition for Withdrawal

of Funds from Blocked Account of Ruben Gonzales,” filed December 13, 2006.

Petitioner, as guardian at litem for minor Ruben Gonzales, seeks an order

withdrawing all funds from a blocked trust account to cover both current and expected

future expenses associated with the above-referenced minor’s high school education.

Having reviewed the petition, the Court finds petitioner has failed to show good

cause exists to withdraw, at this time, all funds in the blocked account. Accordingly, to the

extent the petition seeks to withdraw all funds, the petition is hereby DENIED.

To the extent petitioner seeks, in the alternative, an order allowing petitioner to

withdraw $10,000 to cover the current year’s tuition, book fees, and uniform costs,1

petitioner has not provided sufficient information to warrant the Court’s approval of such

request. Petitioner will be afforded an opportunity to file, no later than January 19, 2007, a

supplemental declaration clarifying the basis for petitioner’s alternative request, and,

accordingly, the Court will defer ruling on such request pending submission of petitioner’s

supplemental declaration.

In her supplemental declaration, petitioner should, at a minimum, include the

following information: (1) the portion, if any, of the current year’s tuition, book fees, and

uniform costs that remains unpaid; (2) petitioner’s current employment status and sources

of income; (3) how petitioner previously had been able to pay for the expenses of the

minor’s private education, and how those circumstances have changed; and (4) how

petitioner anticipates paying for the fourth year of the minor’s high school education.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
