JOINT STATUS REPORT AND PROPOSED ORDER

Case No. 14-02506-DMR 

The selection of two guardians ad litem for Defendant T.S., a minor child, has been 

completed and two co-guardians will be appointed. Nomination of the co-guardians was filed in 

San Joaquin County, where the minor resides, and the case number is 39-2013-00299617-PRGP-STK. A hearing is set for April 7, 2015. 

Once the co-guardians are appointed, they will then Petition this court for an order 

approving the settlement, and distributing the funds to a blocked account or trust to be distributed 

when the minor turns 25. The Parties are reviewing the settlement agreement and anticipate that 

it will be complete by May 15, 2015. 

Until the guardianship is resolved and the appropriate guardianship account set up, the 

settlement cannot be finalized and submitted to the Court. Defendants estimate that they will 

require until May 15, 2015 to make the guardianship arrangements and to finalize a settlement 

agreement with the Plaintiffs. Therefore, the parties jointly request that the Court allow them 

until May 15, 2015 to submit a settlement agreement or, if necessary, a status report and a 

request for a case management conference. 

2. In the Alternative, Request for A Case Management Conference 

In the event that the parties are unable to complete the settlement agreement, the parties 

request the opportunity to file a further joint status report on June 15, 2015 and request a case 

management conference on July 6, 2015.
