ORDER APPROVING SETTLEMENT
THIS MATTER came before the Court today for a Fairness Hearing on the settlement reached by the parties. For the reasons set forth in Mr. Hart's thorough and excellent Guardian Ad Litem Report and further recited by the Court at the hearing which was tape recorded, I make the following findings: (1) the terms of the settlement are objectively fair under the circumstances, and (2) appropriate measures have been taken to assure the settlement promotes the best interests of the minor, Dylan Causey.
Wherefore,
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Settlement Agreement is hereby approved including the proposed allocation for attorney fees and costs. The Trust as contemplated shall be implemented, and upon execution of the required releases and distribution of the settlement funds, Plaintiffs shall submit a proposed Final Order of Dismissal for my signature.
