EX PARTE APPLICATION FOR AN ORDER APPROVING CERTIFICATES OF MERIT
Specifically, the Code of Civil Procedure requires the Court to approve the Certificates of
Merit filed contemporaneously with any Complaint for Damages stemming from the sexual abuse
or molestation of a minor prior to the serving of the Complaint, where the plaintiffs are over the
age 0f 40 years 01d. Accordingly, Plaintiff JANE BNS DOE, by and through her attorney of
record herein, seeks an Order approving the Certificates of Merit and Authorizing service of the
Complaint on all Defendants. Given the fact that Plaintiff is required by law to obtain such an
Order in order to serve Defendants, she will be unable to serve her Complaint upon any of the
Defendants herein until such an Order is issued.
There is “good cause” to grant the instant ex parte Application on the basis that Without it,
10 Plaintiff cannot serve her Complaint upon the Defendants, and thus, cannot proceed with the
11 instant action.
