after receiving testimony from DEENA KRISMAN at the time of the

June 20, 2005 hearing on the instant petition for minors’

compromise, the Court finds that the proposed settlement is in

the best interest of Tyler Krisman and Tristen Krisman. The 

settlement on behalf of said minors is therefore approved and

DEENA KRISMAN’s petition is GRANTED. The Court consequently

orders as follows:

1. That the settlement amount of $2,500 on behalf of Tyler

Krisman, and $2,500 on behalf of Tristen Krisman, is fair and is

approved.

2. That GRANGE INSURANCE ASSOCIATION shall issue two

checks, one made payable to Tyler Krisman, by and through his

Guardian ad Litem, Deena Krisman, and the other payable to

Tristen Krisman, by and through his Guardian ad Litem, Deena

Krisman. Both checks shall be in the amount of $2,500. Deena

Krisman shall deposit the checks into two federally insured,

interest bearing, separate blocked accounts, one for Tyler

Krisman and the other for Tristen Krisman. The blocked accounts

shall show the name of each minor.

3. All interest payable on the deposit shall continue to be

maintained in each blocked account. No withdrawals of principal

or interest shall be made from either account without written

order, under this case name and number, signed by a judge of this

Court.

4. Once Tyler Krisman attains the age of eighteen (18)

years, the depository of funds held pursuant to this Order is

authorized and directed, without further order of the Court, to

pay by check or draft, upon proper demand, all monies, including

5. Once Tristen Krisman attains the age of eighteen (18)

years, the depository of funds held pursuant to this Order is

authorized and directed, without further order of the Court, to

pay by check or draft, upon proper demand, all monies, including

interest, to him, free of any restrictions.

6. Having approved this settlement, any and all potential

claims held by Tyler Krisman or by Tristen Krisman against GRANGE

INSURANCE ASSOCIATION from or pertaining to the matters alleged

in the First Amended Complaint on file in this action are forever

barred and precluded.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
