The motion to contest defendant David Davidson's application for good faith settlement is denied. The court exercises its discretion to consider the untimely motion but concludes that moving parties Yasir Khan and Desoto Cab Company Inc. have not met their burden of showing that the settlement is not a good-faith settlement pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure, section 877.6. (The Court's complete tentative ruling has been emailed to the parties.)
