Despite the denial, the parties reached a settlement agreement. On August 1, 2023, they filed a joint stipulation agreeing to settle the case. The respondent agreed to issue a payment of $74,000.00 as compensation for all damages, in the form of a check payable to petitioners as guardians/conservators of P.P.’s estate.
