Corporation,

ORDER REQUIRING
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Defendants.
/

17

Plaintiffs Jane Doe 1 and 2 have submitted a petition to approve a settlement on behalf

18

of their minor child (Dkt. No. 92). Plaintiffs have not, however, filed the settlement agreement

19

for which they seek approval, and have instead provided only the settlement amount. This is

20

insufficient. Plaintiffs must provide the settlement agreement in order for the Court to evaluate

21

whether it is a fair compromise.

22

Moreover, plaintiffs seek approval for a settlement of “potential or possible” claims of

23

their child without providing any legal authority supporting their request (id. at 2). Their child

24

was not a plaintiff in this suit, and has no pending claims.

By FRIDAY OCTOBER 6 AT NOON plaintiffs SHALL FILE a copy of the proposed

2

settlement agreement, as well as a memorandum not to exceed 3 pages setting forth legal

3

authority supporting their request.
