Case No.: C 08-0307 PVT

ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO APPROVE

SETTLEMENT AND MINORS’

COMPROMISE; AND 

ORDER TO DEPOSIT MONEY INTO

BLOCKED ACCOUNTS

On April 21, 2010, Plaintiffs filed a Motion to Approve Settlement and Minors’

Compromise. On April 22, 2010, the court issued an Interim Order directing Plaintiffs to file a

supplemental brief that, among other things, proposed an appropriate disposition of each minor’s

share of the settlement proceeds pursuant to California Probate Code section 3611(a), (b) or (g). 

Plaintiffs have now submitted their supplemental brief, in which they indicate they elect to use a

“blocked” account in a financial institution in this state. See Cal.Prob.Code § 3611(b). Based on

the moving and supplemental papers and the file herein,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Plaintiffs’ motion to approve settlement and minors’

compromise is GRANTED on the terms set forth herein,

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the net settlement proceeds that belong to Plaintiff J.I.G., a

minor, shall be promptly deposited in an interest-bearing, federally insured blocked account in a
