THIS MATTER comes before the Court on the joint request by Plaintiff Karri Dalton as the Personal Representative of the Estate of Nikki Bascom, deceased, and Next Friend to M.B., a minor child, and A.C., a minor child against Defendants Grant County, ex rel. Grant County Sheriff's Department, Deputy Jacob Villegas, Deputy Frank Gomez and Deputy Adam Arellano (the County Defendants), that the Court approve a proposed settlement between them.
