The plaintiffs brought a motion under Rule 7 for approval of a $5,000 settlement for a minor who slipped and fell on a hotel pool deck.
The proposed distribution included $1,500 to the minor, $2,500 for legal disbursements, and $1,000 to the litigation guardian for expenses.
The court found the materials deficient because they lacked legal authority or evidence supporting the $1,000 payment to the litigation guardian.
The plaintiffs were ordered to provide the missing materials within 14 days, failing which the motion would be dismissed.
