1. Guardianship of Leona Laniakea Tallulah Trimmthorns 23PR00112 Status Update

TENTATIVE RULING: A review of the court file indicates the matter was last before the court on June 18, 2024, for review of the visitation order on the Temporary Guardianship, and for the Court to either grant the petition for a general guardianship or set the matter for trial. According to the June 18, 2024, minute entry, the parties were present, and the visitation order was to remain as set, but the status of the general guardianship petition was never addressed, and no future court dates were set. As a result, the case has remained pending, with the Temporary Guardianship orders and visitation orders governing for nearly two years.

The Temporary Guardian appeared in court on May 19, 2026, and was advised she would have 60 days to consider whether to pursue the general guardianship or to drop the request. The parties are to appear and advise the court on the status of the general guardianship petition and to either set the matter for trial, submit on the petition for general guardianship, or show cause why the Court should not dismiss the original petition as abandoned. In the event a trial is necessary, all parties should be prepared to provide a time estimate on the trial and identify a reasonable date for the exchange of 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.

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 of witness lists and documents (if any) which he/she/they intend to submit for the Court’s consideration at the evidentiary hearing.
