Re: In re Royell Montes
Superior Court Case No. 18CECG00091
Hearing Date: February 22, 2018 (Dept. 403)
Motion: Petition to Compromise a Minor’s Claim
Tentative Ruling:

To deny without prejudice. Petitioner must file an amended petition, with appropriate supporting papers and proposed orders, and obtain a new hearing date for consideration of the amended petition. (Super. Ct. Fresno County, Local Rules, rule 2.8.4.)

Explanation:

The attorney seeks fees in the amount of 25% of gross. Absent exceptional circumstances, the attorney is entitled to 25% of the net settlement (gross settlement minus costs).

Pursuant to California Rules of Court, rule 3.1312 and Code of Civil Procedure section 1019.5(a), no further written order is necessary. The minute order adopting this tentative ruling will serve as the order of the court and service by the clerk will constitute notice of the order.
