IN THE MATTER OF COURT APPROVAL OF
CONFIDENTIAL SETTLEMENT ON BEHALF
OF J.R., A MINOR

ORDER
17-cv-277-jdp

United Air Lines, Inc. petitioned the court to approve a proposed settlement involving
J.R., a minor. Dkt. 1. I appointed a guardian ad litem for J.R. and held a hearing. Dkt. 5; Dkt. 8;

which adequately address my concerns. I conclude that the proposed settlement is fair and
reasonable and in J.R.’s best interest. I will therefore approve the proposed settlement without
another hearing and direct the clerk of court to close the case.
