Defendants.

Before the Court is Plaintiff Rafael Munoz’s motion to appoint himself as guardian ad

14

litem for Plaintiff J.M., a minor. ECF 111. Mr. Rafael Munoz is J.M.’s father and legal guardian,

15

and declares that he has no interests adverse to J.M., and that the appointment is intended for this

16

litigation only. See ECF 113. Having considered Plaintiff Munoz’s submissions, the Court finds

17

the matter appropriate for submission without a hearing and Mr. Rafael Munoz a suitable

18

representative for J.M.’s interests in this action. Accordingly, the Court GRANTS the motion to

19

appoint guardian ad litem for purposes of this action, and VACATES the hearing scheduled for

20

this motion. Civ. L.R. 7-11(b).
