ORDER GRANTING PETITION FOR
WITHDRAWAL OF FUNDS FROM
BLOCKED ACCOUNT
United States District Court

Defendants.

On February 12, 2016, petitioner Jureko Johnson filed a “petition for withdrawal of
15
funds from blocked account.” See Dkt. 100. The petition cites to the court’s June 28,
16
2011 order approving compromise of minor’s claim, which provided that then-minor
17
“Jonathan J.” (a fictitious name) was entitled to withdraw $7,500 from a blocked trust
18
account during a ten-day window starting on his 20th birthday in 2015. Id. at 2. In the
19
petition, Johnson claims that he was incarcerated during that time, making him unable to
20
withdraw the funds, and he requests an order approving a late withdrawal.
21
On February 17, 2016, the court issued an order explaining that the petition, as
22
filed, did “not provide enough information for the court to approve the request.” See Dkt.
23
101. Specifically, the court noted that (1) the petition did not clearly state that petitioner
24
Jureko Johnson was the “Jonathan J.” named in the court’s June 2011 order approving
25
compromise of minor’s claim, (2) the petition was unaccompanied by any declaration
26
from Jonathan J.’s guardian ad litem, Tereese Sanders, who requested the withdrawal
27
schedule, and whose consent is therefore needed to modify it, and (3) the petition did not
28
explain when petitioner Johnson was released from custody. Id. The court directed
1
petitioner Joh
hnson to submit a signed declarat
tion attestin that he is indeed th
ng
s
he
2
“Jo
onathan J.” referenced in the court’s June 20 order, to provide a timeline o his
