CASE NO. C-06-3350 SBA

MOTION FOR APPOINTMENT OF

GUARDIAN AD LITEM

TO ALL PARTIES AND TO THEIR RESPECTIVE ATTORNEYS OF RECORD HEREIN:

Applicant, ALICIA TELLES-HERNANDEZ, the parent of CRUZ HERNANDEZ, seeks

appointment as guardian ad litem. ALICIA TELLES-HERNANDEZ resides at 2136 Citrine Way,

Santa Rosa, CA 95404. The guardian ad litem is to represent the interests of the CRUZ

HERNANDEZ who resides at 2136 Citrine Way, Santa Rosa, CA 95404. CRUZ HERNANDEZ is

a minor. 

The court should appoint a guardian ad litem because CRUZ HERNANDEZ has a cause of

action for injuries due to medical negligence for which suit should be brought. The appointment of

a guardian ad litem is necessary for representation of the minor’s interests in the lawsuit.

is true and correct.
