5. Guardianship of Heather Jean Mello 26PR00167 Appointment of Guardian
TENTATIVE RULING: APPEARANCES ARE REQUIRED. Based upon the objection to the petition for guardianship noted by the minor’s mother, Kayla Brown, in the Sonoma County Human Services Report filed May 29, 2026, pursuant to Probate Code section 1513, it appears an evidentiary hearing is required. If the hearing will take less than twenty (20) minutes, it may occur at the time the case is called. However, all parties must be prepared to give a good faith estimate as to the likely length of the evidentiary hearing.
If any party’s time estimate exceeds twenty minutes, the Court will specially set the matter for an evidentiary hearing at another time convenient to the Court and the parties. All parties should also be prepared to identify a reasonable date for the exchange witness lists and documents (if any) which he/she/they intend to submit for the Court’s consideration at the evidentiary hearing. Finally, all parties are hereby advised that strict compliance with local rules will be required. They should take special review Local Rules 6.2.F. which requires, among other things, that parties meet and confer for purposes of making reasonable efforts to informally resolve any controversies and to file Statements of Issues or Settlement prior to an evidentiary hearing.
