matter.

4. Lori M. Broussard, who is Plaintiff’s mother, and whose

incompetent person not otherwise represented in the action or

shall make such other order as it deems proper for the

protection of the minor or incompetent person.”

Moreover, CA CCP §373(b) provides that where the minor is

under 14 years of age, the appointment of guardian ad litem shall

be made pursuant to “the application of a relative or friend of the

minor.”

WHEREFORE, Lori M. Broussard, moves the court for an order

appointing her as guardian ad litem, for the purpose of bringing an

action, on Plaintiff’s behalf, against defendants on the claims set

forth in the accompanying Complaint.
