Ajib, et al. v. Ocasio
ADMONITION TO COUNSEL REGARDING FILING OF DOCUMENTS
Pursuant to the First Amended General Order filed on 5/3/19 regarding mandatory electronic filing, electronic documents must be bookmarked within the document pursuant to California Rules of Court, rule 3.1110(f)(4). Electronic bookmarks must include links to the first page of each bookmarked item (e.g. exhibits, declarations, deposition excerpts) and with bookmark titles that identify the book-marked item. The item must be briefly described.
Attachments to primary documents must also be bookmarked. Examples include, but are not limited to the following: depositions, declarations, exhibits, transcripts, medical records, and points and authorities. Use of hyperlinks within documents, including attachments and exhibits is strongly encouraged.
Regardless of the time of electronic filing, a printed courtesy copy (along with proof of electronic submission) is required for pleadings and motions including attachments of 26 pages or more, pleadings and motions that include points and authorities, demurrers, motions for summary judgment/adjudication, and motions to compel further discovery, among other documents. Amended General Order, ¶ 9.
Counsel is admonished to comply with the First Amended General Order and Cal Rules of Court 3.110(f)(4) for all future electronically filed documents.
TENTATIVE RULING
The Court finds good cause to dispense with the personal appearance of the guardian ad litem and the minor pursuant to California Rules of Court Rule 7.952. Having reviewed the Petition to Approve Compromise of Pending Action of a Minor (Jamel Ajib, Age 15), the Court finds that the settlement is reasonable, and based thereon, approves and GRANTS the petition.
The Court has considered the Declaration of H. Ty Kharazi in support of the fee request. The Court finds that on the current record and in consideration of the factors set forth in Cal Rules of Court, Rule 7.955(b) a fee of 25% of the gross settlement is reasonable.
The Court approves the following distribution of the settlement proceeds:
Attorney’s fees (25%) $1,750.00
Medical expenses 2,532.75
Costs 825.00
Total fees and costs $5,107.75
Total Settlement $7,000.00
Less credits -5,107.75
Net Settlement $1,892.25
The Court sets an OSC re Receipt and Acknowledgement of Order for the Deposit of Money into Blocked Account (on 6/8/2020 at 8:30 AM). No appearance is required if receipt (MC-356) is filed.
Moving party to give notice.
