EDWARD C. REED, District Judge.

On August 20, 2011, Plaintiff filed a complaint (#1-2) for strict liability and negligence in the Second Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada in and for the County of Washoe. On September 21, 2011, Defendants removed (#1) the case to this Court. On March 9, 2012, Defendant The Coca-Cola Company filed a Notice of Settlement (#34), stating that the parties have reached a settlement of all claims pending in this action and will submit a Stipulation and Order for Dismissal with Prejudice within the next few weeks.

On March 23, 2012, Plaintiff as guardian for M.C. filed a Petition to Compromise a Minor's Claim (#36), stating that the parties have reached a settlement and requesting that this Court accept and approve it. The terms of the settlement are set forth in the Petition (#36). Specifically, the Petition (#36) provides that M.C. required medical attention amounting to $1,081.64, and Defendants have agreed to enter into a global settlement in the amount of $3,000.00. Plaintiff's attorney claims reduced costs in the amount of $459.59. Plaintiff shall establish a blocked, financial investment as defined by Nev. Rev. Stat. § 41.200 for M.C. in the amount of $2,540.41 until she reaches the age of majority or the Court otherwise orders. Plaintiff requests that this Court waive the requirement of a bond. The Petition (#36) requests that this Court approve the settlement and allow Plaintiff to execute a Release of M.C.'s rights to seek further compensation from the parties named in the Release.

IT IS, THEREFORE, HEREBY ORDERED that the Petition to Compromise a Minor's Claim (#36) is GRANTED.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Motion to Remand (#9) is DENIED as moot.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the parties shall file the Stipulation and Order for Dismissal with Prejudice within thirty (30) days of the date of entry of this Order.
