Sara Khalil, et al. v. Max Steiner

Minor’s Compromise Petition

Hearing Date: September 4, 2026

After reviewing the unopposed minor’s compromise petition filed by Magdi Khalil, the parent and guardian ad litem for 16-year-old Plaintiff Mariam Khalil (“Plaintiff”), the Court hereby GRANTS the petition. The Court will sign the proposed orders approving the disbursement of Plaintiff’s settlement proceeds and authorizing the deposit of those funds into an FDIC-insured blocked account at Chase Bank, with withdrawals permitted only upon Court approval.

For the parties’ convenience, the Court will set this matter to present proof of Plaintiff’s deposited funds on the same day and time as the Dismissal Hearing, which is October 13, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. in Department 14. Unless the Court orders otherwise, no appearance is required if proof of deposit is filed with the Court before then. [Super. Ct. Monterey County, Local Rules, rule 4.39.] Similarly, the Dismissal Hearing will be vacated upon timely filing of a Request for Dismissal.

NOTE RE TENTATIVE RULING This tentative ruling becomes the court’s order, and no hearing shall be held unless one of the parties contests it by following Rule 3.1308 of the California Rules of Court and Monterey County Local Rule 7.9. Those parties wishing to present an oral argument must notify all other parties and the Court no later than 4:00 p.m. on the court day before the hearing; otherwise, NO ORAL ARGUMENT WILL BE PERMITTED, AND THE TENTATIVE RULING WILL BECOME THE ORDER OF THE COURT AND THE HEARING VACATED. You must notify the court by email or by calling the Calendar Department at 831-647-5800, extension 3040, before 4:00 p.m. on the court day before the hearing.
