08-10-2012
TYLER SMITH and SHERRI SMITH, as next friend to Tanner Smith, Plaintiffs, v. THE PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA, Defendant.
Judge Trauger
ORDER
The court has been informed that this case has settled. Because the settlement involves a minor plaintiff, the parties are advised to follow the requirements of T.C.A. § 29-34-105 regarding settlements on behalf of minors. If there is a confidentiality provision, it is hereby ORDERED that the parties have permission to file the settlement agreement under seal. If the settlement is not a structured settlement as to the minor, the parties should either file the necessary affidavits or request an in-chambers hearing, with the minor present, depending upon whether the settlement is less than $10,000 or more than $10,000.
It is so ORDERED.
