ANGELINA NUNES, et al., Plaintiffs, v. CARRIE STEPHENS, et al., Defendants.
ORDER PERMITTING DEFENDANTS TO FILE OPPOSITION TO PLAINTIFFS' EX PARTE REQUEST FOR SUPPLEMENTAL BRIEFING
(ECF NO. 81)
Plaintiffs filed an ex parte petition for minor's compromise in this action on March 21, 2022. (ECF No. 78.) The matter is currently set for hearing on June 1, 2022. (ECF No. 80.) On May 11, 2022, Plaintiffs filed an ex parte request to submit supplemental briefing on their petition for minor's compromise. (ECF No. 81.) While Plaintiffs do not set forth facts establishing entitlement to ex parte relief, see Erichsen v. Cnty. of Orange, 677 Fed.Appx. 379, 380 (9th Cir. 2017); Mission Power Eng'g Co. v. Continental Cas. Co., 883 F.Supp. 488, 492 (C.D. Cal. 1995), nor do they indicate whether Defendants oppose their request, Plaintiffs do submit that Defendants have no standing to object to a petition for minor's compromise. (ECF No. 81 at 2.) The Court shall therefore permit Defendants an opportunity to respond to the ex parte request for supplemental briefing. If Defendants wish to respond to Plaintiffs' proffer of their inability to file any opposition or substantively oppose the submission of supplemental briefing at this time, they may file such response by May 19, 2022. If no response is filed by that time, the Court will accept the supplemental briefing attached to Plaintiffs' ex parte request with no further orders to issue prior to the hearing on the petition.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendants may file an opposition to Plaintiff's ex parte request for supplemental briefing, no later than May 19, 2022. If Defendants file an opposition to the ex parte motion, Plaintiffs may file a reply no later than May 26, 2022.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
