Motion for determination of good faith settlement
Case Number
Case Type Civil Law & Motion Hearing Date / Time Fri, 06/26/2026 - 10:00 Nature of Proceedings Motion Good Faith Settlement Tentative Ruling On April 24, 2026, the court continued the motion of defendant Kone Inc. for determination of good faith settlement between Kone Inc. and plaintiffs Jameson Moore, a minor by and through his guardian ad litem Katy Kelly, M.D., Jackson Moore, a minor by and through his guardian ad litem Derek Moore, M.D., and Derek Moore, M.D., to June 26, 2026. The court ruled in part: "Because the Settlement involves the compromise of a minor's claim in this action that has not yet been approved by the court, the settlement is not yet final. (Prob. Code, Sec.
3500, subd. (b); Code Civ. Proc., Sec. 372, subd. (a)(3).) Thus, it would be premature for the court to rule on Kone's motion at this time. (Anderson, supra, 166 Cal.App.3d at p. 676.) The court will continue this motion to June 26, 2026. If the Settlement is approved on or before June 26, the court will fully address Kone's motion on its merits at the June 26 hearing. It would be convenient for the court if the Plaintiffs set their motion to approve the compromise of minors' claims as to the Settlement on this same June 26 hearing." The court has not received any filings pertaining to the minor's compromise. The court will continue this motion to September 4, 2026, in this department at 10:00 a.m. If the supporting papers for the minor's compromise are not filed on or before August 7, 2026, the court will order this matter off calendar.
