Disposition notice

The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California denied without prejudice Regina Bolin's application for appointment as guardian ad litem for minor plaintiff J.N.B. The court explained that although Bolin attested she would look out for J.N.B.'s best interests, her declaration did not indicate whether she may have a conflict of interest with the minor. Any renewed application must address potential conflicts of interest. The court also reminded counsel that proposed orders must be submitted in Word format to chambers.
