Ruling

Appearances are NOT required. Absent objection, the Petition for Guardianship is GRANTED and the Court will sign the proposed order submitted by Petitioner(s). The Court finds good cause to waive and does waive further investigation if any is required under Prob. Code § 1513. Petitioner/Guardian is directed to file the Confidential Guardianship Status Report, GC-251, within one year and 30 days from the date of the order granting the Petition for Guardianship, and annually thereafter until the ward attains the age of 21, at which point the guardianship will terminate by operation of law. (Form GC-251 is available at the following URL: https://www.courts.ca.gov/forms.htm) To ensure compliance with the requirement of an annual GC- 251, this matter is set for Case Management Conference at 9:00 a.m. on June 1, 2027, in Department 5.

If the Guardian has at that time filed the required GC-251, an appearance will be waived and a new hearing date shall be set for one year out for the filing of the annual Status Report. Absent objection, the Request for Special Immigrant Juvenile Findings is GRANTED and the Court will sign the proposed order submitted by Petitioner. Further advisements which are not part of tentative ruling: If any objections are filed at or before the time of hearing, the Court will not adopt the tentative ruling and will, instead, set the matter for a contested hearing and the parties will be notified by the Court as to when they should next appear.
