Herrera et al v. Gadsden Independent School District

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW MEXICO
RUBEN HERRERA and ORALIA
QUEZADA, individually and as next
friends for their minor child, J.H.,
Plaintiffs,
v. 	Civ. No. 24‐127 GBW/GJF
GADSDEN INDEPENDENT
SCHOOL DISTRICT,
Defendant.
ORDER FOR THE PRODUCTION OF CASE RECORDS
THIS MATTER comes before the Court on the Joint Motion For Approval of a
Settlement Involving a Minor Child, J.H. (doc. 105), the Motion to Extend Deadline to
File Sealed Guardian Ad Litem Report and to Continue Fairness Hearing (doc. 111), and
the hearing on the Court’s Order to Show Cause (docs. 114, 115, 117, 120).
The parties have reached a settlement to resolve all claims in the case. Those
claims include those of a minor child. Therefore, court approval of the settlement is
necessary. See United States v. Reilly, 385 F.2d 225, 228 (10th Cir. 1967) (applying New
Mexico law to find a “special obligation to see that [minors are] properly represented”
in settlement agreements); Shelton v. Sloan, 977 P.2d 1012, 1020 (N.M. Ct. App. 1999)
(stating that courts must review the fairness of a settlement agreement to any minors
involved). To assist in this review, the Court has appointed Lucinda R. Silva as

Guardian ad Litem (“GAL”) for J.H. See doc. 104. To provide a report on the settlement,
GAL Silva requires comprehensive information regarding the case, its litigation, and the
various fees and costs incurred. Id.
Dolores Bojazi has been the primary attorney of record for Plaintiffs since June
2025. See doc. 61. Furthermore, she was the attorney who represented Plaintiffs during
the telephonic settlement conference conducted by Magistrate Judge Gregory Fouratt.
See doc. 100. Ms. Bojazi was affiliated with Lento Law Group, P.C. when she entered her
appearance, but has since left the firm. See docs. 79, 115. Nonetheless, as no other
attorney has substituted for Ms. Bojazi, she remains counsel for Plaintiff. In order to
continue representing Plaintiffs and to assist the Guardian ad Litem and Court to
review the putative settlement, Ms. Bojazi requires access to the Plaintiffs’ client file.
According to Ms. Bojazi, the entire client file remains in the custody and control
of her previous law firm which had been known as Lento Law Group, P.C. However,
since her departure, Lento Law Group, P.C. has become LLG National Law Group. The
conclusion that LLG National Law Group is the successor to Lento Law Group is
supported by many facts. First, both Ms. Bojazi and GAL Silva, as officers of the court,
have advised the court of the connection. Second, various internet and social media
platforms reveal an underlying connection between Lento Law Group, P.C. and LLG

Docket 3, 80 DB 2022, at 3 (Pa. Nov. 19, 2024). Thus, the Court is convinced that the
client file is currently held by LLG National Law Group.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the LLG National Law Group shall produce
and release to Dolores Bojazi, counsel of record for Plaintiffs, the entire client file and
case records related to the above captioned matter. The “client file” shall be construed

agreements; (4) medical records for any plaintiff; (5) all discovery obtained or
