THE PARTIES FIND AND AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
13
On or about July 13, 2017 Defendants filed a Motion to Strike Portions of Plaintiffs’
14
15
16
Complaint. After discussions, the Parties agree and stipulate to the following:
Paragraphs 7, 8 and 9 of the Complaint contain the phrase “the matter of the minor
Plaintiffs J.H. and M.K.”
17
The Parties agree that M.K. is not a plaintiff in this litigation and that the inadvertent
18
“s” on the word “Plaintiffs” was a mere typographical error and was not intended to denote
19
that M.K. was a plaintiff in this matter.
20
The Parties agree that the word “”Plaintiffs” was intended to be “Plaintiff.”
21
The Parties therefore agree to strike the letter “s” in the word “Plaintiffs” in the phrase
22
23
24
25
26
27
“the matter of the minor Plaintiffs J.H. and M.K.” in paragraphs 7, 8 and 9.
The Parties agree that the subject phrase in paragraphs 7, 8 and 9 will read “the matter
of the minor Plaintiff J.H. and M.K.”
The Parties agree that with the granting of the attached Order for this stipulation, the
Defendants’ Motion to Strike is withdrawn as moot.
IT IS THEREFOR STIPULATED:

Strike is withdrawn as moot.
