MOTION FOR GOOD FAITH SETTLEMENT
TENTATIVE RULING
DEFENDANT MIGUELINA GUZMAN’S MOTION FOR GOOD FAITH SETTLEMENT
Defendants Miguelina, Yuren and Jacklyn Guzman each move for good faith settlement pursuant to Code of Civ. Proc. §877.6.

Defendant County of Solano opposes each of the motions for good faith settlement. Nothing in defendant County’s several unfounded allegations, speculative assertions and misrepresentations of evidence can turn straw into gold. There is no evidentiary basis for County’s assertion that defendant Yuren intentionally rear- ended the vehicle carrying plaintiff Hugo Esquivel and decede
