Phanbunkoet, et al. v. Melgar, et al.

Pursuant to the Court’s order of 11/27/19, the Two (2) Expedited Petitions to Approve Compromise of Pending Action of a Minor, Teepata Tangahsha (Age 12) and Thanissha Tasaso (Age 13) were set for hearing to permit counsel to obtain an order appointing a Guardian ad Litem for the minor claimants.
