 Pending before the Court is Plaintiffs' unopposed motion pursuant to Local Rule 202(b) for 

approval of the settlement in this case as it pertains to minor Plaintiff A.J. After careful 

consideration of the motion and the applicable law, the Court grants the motion without a hearing as 

follows: 

 The Court finds that settlement of the case with $30,000 of Plaintiffs' overall $100,000 

recovery going to minor A.J. when she reaches the age of majority is in A.J.'s best interests and is 

fair and reasonable under the circumstances. 

 Accordingly, is it ORDERED that within 30 days of the entry of this order, Defendants shall 

issue the payments required by the settlement agreement and Haddad & Sherwin LLP shall 

promptly issue payment to A.J. upon receipt of payment by Sutter and Shasta Counties pursuant to 

the following: 

 Haddad & Sherwin LLP shall write a check to Union Bank in trust for A.J. (using her legal 

name) in the amount of $30,000.00, to be placed in a blocked bank account at Union Bank, 1805 

Market Street, Redding, CA 96001. Union Bank shall release A.J.'s funds to A.J. upon her reaching 

18 years of age. 

 IT IS SO ORDERED. 

 Signed April 18, 2016.
