GUARDIANSHIP OF ISABELLA SCHOLFIELD

CASE NUMBER: 26PG-0033318 This matter is on calendar for further proceedings on a Petition for Appointment of Guardian of the Person. The Petition was filed by the minor’s non-relative caregiver, Margorita Martinez. Letters of Temporary Guardianship were not requested.

The mother, father, and sibling have consented to the guardianship and waived notice. There is no proof of service of the Notice of Hearing and Petition for the paternal grandmother and insufficient information has been provided to permit the Court to dispense with notice. The paternal grandmother may be served by mail. Prob. Code § 1511(c). Alternatively, the paternal grandmother can sign a consent and waiver of notice, in lieu of being served.

The Court has reviewed the Children’s Services report filed on May 1, 2026, which recommends granting the Petition. ICWA notification has been properly given, and no tribe has requested to intervene in this matter.

The matter is continued to Monday, August 17, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. in Department 42 for further proceedings on the Petition. Petitioner is required to file and serve a new Notice of Hearing for the continued hearing date, along with a copy of the Petition, on the paternal grandmother. In the alternative, if Petitioner cannot serve the paternal grandmother, the Court will require a declaration explaining in detail all efforts of Petitioner to locate and serve her and why she cannot be served, to permit the Court to dispense with notice. Warning: Failure to properly effect service or provide adequate basis to dispense with service as to the necessary parties will result in denial of the Petition. Notice is preserved. No appearance is necessary on today’s calendar.
