Under Certain Arizona Insurance Policies Issued by Lone Star Alliance. (DE 802,

the Bankruptcy Code and would not be fair or in the best interests of the estate or creditors

Windhurst does not consent to the jurisdiction of this Bankruptcy Court to liquidate the wrongful death
litigation pending in Arizona Superior Court. Windhurst also does not consent to this Court adjudicating
claims pending by Windhurst against non-debtor third parties. As Windhurst details herein, Windhurst
has a constitutional right to a jury trial, and the liquidation of wrongful death cases are explicitly not
within the core jurisdiction of this bankruptcy court. 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2), (4), (5). Windhurst has
received an order granting partial stay relief, DE 641, and is filing this objection solely to preserve its
rights, and should not be deemed a consent to jurisdiction.

to extract third-party releases for, among others, the State of Arizona, Coverys, and CHS
TX, Inc./YesCare (collectively “CHS”), in exchange for what appears to be nothing for the
estate in return. If approved, the Motion would effectuate a disguised plan for only certain
creditors without compliance with the Bankruptcy Code or the scrutiny of the confirmation
process. The Parties to the Motion attempt to push these unlawful and unconfirmable
consideration. The only thing the Parties have done is make an agreement that effectively
eviscerates Windhurst’s multi-million dollar claim solely for the benefit of non-debtor third
parties.
Windhurst, her deceased husband filed a medical malpractice, vulnerable adult, and
wrongful death action against the Arizona Department of Corrections, Charles Ryan, the
David Windhurst was a bed-bound double amputee with diabetes mellitus and
completely reliant on the State of Arizona and Corizon for his well-being. David had a
history of kidney failure and had uncategorized, open pressure ulcers on his coccyx and
lower back. Rather than clean and dress his wounds to prevent infection, Corizon and its
providers allowed David to wallow in his own feces and urine. David became infected; and
even as his symptoms became more severe, Corizon did nothing. Only when David went
into septic shock and coded, did Corizon transfer him to the hospital where he predictably
died.

Discovery has been completed in the matter. During the dispositive motion phase of
the case, the Trial Court granted summary judgment in favor of the Defendants on
Plaintiff’s Medical Negligence and Negligence Per Se Claims. On appeal, the Arizona
Court of Appeals reversed, holding the dismissal of claims improper. Corizon and the State
of Arizona appealed to the Arizona Supreme Court, which granted review as a matter of
importance in the State of Arizona. That appeal to the Arizona Supreme Court has been
fully briefed and was argued and submitted in the summer of 2022. The matter remains
under advisement with the Arizona Supreme Court. This Court granted limited Stay Relief
to allow the Arizona Supreme Court to rule on the submitted appeal. (DE 641).

Claim.
The Motion provides that any holder of an “individual, prepetition claim[] that may
be covered by the LSA Arizona Policies” will have their claim determined through a
mandatory procedure. (DE 802 p. 3). Notably, the procedure was determined without input
or choice from Windhurst, and by a process that explicitly excluded each of the claimants
from participating in the mediation. The mandated procedure does not allow any of the

Case 23-90086 Document 858 Filed in TXSB on 08/07/23 Page 4 of 14
covered claimants to opt in or opt out of the “Claims Resolution Procedures.” (the “CRP”)
(Page 3-4).
b. Step 2—If the $5,000 settlement payment is not acceptable, the CRP forces
each claimant to engage in mandatory mediation. Notably, if resolved by
mediation, the resolution will be a full and final satisfaction and release of
claims against “the Debtor’s bankruptcy estate (or its successor in interest),
LSA, and all insureds under the LSA Arizona Policies.” (DE 802 p. 4).
Section 28 U.S.C. § 157(b) provides that this Court lacks jurisdiction to liquidate
Windhurst’s wrongful death claim. Yet, the Motion asks this Court to mandate a process to
liquidate Windhurst’s claim that also forces releases, limits recoveries, and delays payment
without regard to rights Windhurst otherwise has at law. Windhurst does not consent to
this Court liquidating its claim. Windhurst does not consent to the proposed liquidation
process included in the CRP. Windhurst does not consent to this Court setting a process for
it to liquidate claims or collect judgments against non-Debtor third parties, which claims
are beyond the jurisdiction of this Court. And Windhurst does not consent to the defendants

This Court lacks jurisdiction to liquidate the Windhurst Claim. Yet without so much
as an explanation as to how this Court could order a process beyond its jurisdiction, or how
Windhurst can be compelled by the “settlement” reached between a defendant and its

procedure on Windhurst. It would be error for this Court to approve the CRP, or to force
The Motion cannot be approved under In re Jackson Brewing Co., 624 F.2d 599 (5th
Cir. 1980), which requires: “To assure a proper compromise the bankruptcy judge, must be
apprised of all the necessary facts for an intelligent, objective and educated evaluation.”
Jackson Brewing, 624 F.2d at 602. This Court must also weigh “the ‘terms of the
compromise with the likely rewards of litigation.’” Jackson Brewing, 624 F.2d at 602,
quoting Protective Committee for Independent Stockholders of TMT Trailer Ferry, Inc. v.
Anderson (“TMT Trailer”), 390 U.S. 414, 425 (1968). Ultimately, this Court’s duty is to

of the estate.” Jackson Brewing, 624 F.2d at 602, quoting TMT Trailer, 390 U.S. at 424.
In evaluating the proposed settlement, the Court must consider several factors to

uncertainty in fact and law,
(2) The complexity and likely duration of the litigation and any attendant expense,
inconvenience and delay, and

retention for LSA policy 4-100167 of $50,000 (the “SIR”). (DE 59-10 p. 43). The Motion
suggests that there is some dispute between LSA and the Debtor with regard to payment of
The Motion further asserts that “the Parties agree that the aggregate claims, as
alleged, may in some cases exceed the available coverage under LSA Arizona Policies” but
the Motion never quantifies “aggregate claims” being resolved, SIR amounts obligated to
be paid, or net proceeds that may be available under the LSA Arizona Policies. (DE 802 p.
3). There is simply no factual background for the conclusion that some undisclosed facts,
“warrant some form of agreed claims resolution process to maximize available coverage
to all claimants.” (DE 802 p. 3). What is telling from the Motion is the acknowledgement
that the limits of the LSA Arizona Policies are deficient to cover those tort claimants who
have asserted claims. Yet the proposed settlement nevertheless attempts to improperly limit
the ability of those claimants to recover from other defendants liable for their damages.
given 1) that there is an excess coverage policy held by Coverys in the amount of
$8,000,000 per claim; and 2) that there is active litigation between Corizon and Coverys
7
Case 23-90086 Document 858 Filed in TXSB on 08/07/23 Page 8 of 14
on this very issue. (Exhibit 2, Corizon v. Coverys Docket Report, Exhibit 3, Corizon v.
Coverys Complaint, Exhibit 4, Corizon v. Coverys Stipulation for Partial Dismissal) Yet
the Debtor does not explain why this policy is not addressed, or why Windhurst’s claims
The lack of disclosure problem is only deepened because the LSA Arizona Policies
appear to be assets of CHS TX, Inc., not of Tehum. In DE 59-10, the Lone Star Arizona
policies were transferred to CHS TX, Inc. and were not left in Tehum to be part of the
bankruptcy estate. (DE 59-10 p. 25, 43) Notably, in the “Allocation of Assets” Section,
3(a), the Divisive Merger document unequivocally provides that “all right, title, and interest
in and to the property and assets of the Company described on Schedule 3.01(a) attached
hereto (collectively the “[CHS TX] Assets”) shall be allocated to and vested in [CHS TX].”
(DE 59-10 p. 25). Schedule 3.01(a)(AZ) clearly demonstrates that the Debtor and CHS TX
identified Lone Star Alliance Policy 4-100167 as an asset transferred to CHS TX, Inc. (DE
59-10 p. 43). Based on this fact, it is unclear how there would be a dispute between LSA
and the Debtor over the SIR payments – it would appear that the SIR payments may be due
and owing from CHS TX. Why the Debtor would expend estate assets to settle a claim
The Motion also fails to explain another key issue. As mentioned above, as of March
18, 2020, LSA represented that only $645,396 was left of the original $6,000,000 aggregate
insurance limit for all claims arising in Arizona in 2017-2018. (Exhibit 1, March 18, 2020
letter from LSA to Corizon re: Policy Limits). The Motion does not disclose the total
remaining limits of the LSA Arizona Policies available for creditors. Ultimately, LSA is
agreeing to pay up to policy limits, but that amount may ultimately total to little or nothing.
It is unclear then what benefit the estate or creditors would receive from this settlement.
8
Case 23-90086 Document 858 Filed in TXSB on 08/07/23 Page 9 of 14
At bottom, the Motion fails to disclose what the Estate stands to gain from its
undisclosed “dispute” with Lone Star, what Lone Star is giving to the Estate to resolve the
dispute, or how any of this will benefit Windhurst or the other creditors. Without all of that
Windhurst was not a party to negotiations and has not been provided a significant relevant
information. In discussions with other similarly situated creditors, it appears that many of
the unsecured creditors impacted by the Motion were similarly left in the dark.
mediation, it does not appear that the Committee’s participation served to adequately
represent or protect the interests of all unsecured creditors. This proposed agreement seems
aimed to cut a portion of the Committees’ constituency (AZ Tort Claimants) out of a
recovery from the Estate in order to benefit the other unsecured creditors. Such a conflict
To be sure, the Committee may not have been adequately informed by the Debtor
or LSA of essential background facts during the mediation process. But the inclusion of
provisions that mandate a liquidation process and limit recovery by Windhurst from third
parties is not just or appropriate. While the Committee joined the Motion, the Motion is
not in the best interests of all unsecured creditors and is certainly not fair and equitable to

Case 23-90086 Document 858 Filed in TXSB on 08/07/23 Page 10 of 14
The Motion, by its terms, seeks to secure releases for the State of Arizona, Coverys,
and likely CHS. The Fifth Circuit “hold[s] § 524(e) categorically bars third-party
Nexpoint Advisors, L.P. v. Highland Capital Mgmt., L.P. (In re Highland Capital Mgmt.,

U.S.C. § 109 (“[O]nly a person . . . or a municipality[] may be a debtor under this title.”); 11
U.S.C. § 101(41) (“The term ‘person’ includes individual, partnership, and corporation, but
does not include governmental unit, except [in situations not applicable here].”). While
allowing a broad third-party release of pre-petition conduct would have its own significant
legal issues in this Circuit, extending such a third-party release to a sovereign state not
eligible for relief under the Bankruptcy Code would be novel and would violate numerous
constitutional provisions, including the Contracts Clause of the United States Constitution.
Arizona owes its inmates a non-delegable duty of care. A.R.S § 31-201.01; Parsons
v. Ryan, 754 F.3d 657, 662 (9th Cir. 2014) (Corizon private contractor to State of Arizona
carrying out the duties of the State); Estelle v. Gamble, 429 U.S. 97, 104 (1976) (Eighth
Amendment includes the right to adequate medical and mental health care in prison). Thus,
the claim asserted by Windhurst against Corizon is equally, if not more so, the core liability
of the State of Arizona. Any resolution of Windhurst’s claim against the Estate that forces
against the State of Arizona. Windhurst was given no option to opt-in to this agreement,
and upon information and belief, the State of Arizona, is not paying anything for its release.
10
Case 23-90086 Document 858 Filed in TXSB on 08/07/23 Page 11 of 14
Nothing in the Bankruptcy Code or the State or Federal Constitutions would permit this
abrogation of a wrongful death claim against the State. Windhurst’s claims against the State
of Arizona arise, in part, on violation of the 8th Amendment. To discharge the State of
Arizona for its liability related to such breach, is counter to the United States Constitution.
Even if the State of Arizona were carved out of the Motion, the Motion still appears
to effectuate a third-party release. As noted above, LSA Policy 4-100167 was transferred
to CHS in the divisive merger. It is unclear if CHS then became the Named Insured under
the policy. The original named insured under LSA Policy 4-100167 was “Valitas Health
Services, Inc.” (Exhibit 5, LSA Policy 4-100167 Declarations Page and Endorsements, p.
1). The additional insureds were Corizon Health, Inc. and the State of Arizona (Exhibit 5,
LSA Policy 4-100167 Declarations Page and Endorsements, pp. 4-5). The Motion attempts
to effectuate a release for 1) “the Debtor’s bankruptcy estate,” 2) “all insureds,” and 3) the
released from any further liability for its excess insurance policy, because the underlying
The releases detailed in the proposed Order would cover LSA, Coverys, the
bankruptcy estate, CHS, Valitas Health Services, and the State of Arizona. None of these
parties have introduced new value into this bankruptcy estate, and this limitation of liability
is not optional. This settlement secures third party releases all in exchange for LSA paying
creditors. The Motion would limit Windhurst’s recovery to only a pro rata share of funds
paid by LSA (up to policy limits) which are currently believed to be approaching $0.
Windhurst will be precluded from seeking recovery against the Coverys excess insurance
11
Case 23-90086 Document 858 Filed in TXSB on 08/07/23 Page 12 of 14
policy, against the other defendants to the litigation including the State of Arizona, or
As a general unsecured creditor, Windhurst has the right under 11 U.S.C. § 1129 to
be paid pro rata with other similarly situated creditors from the assets of the Debtor’s estate.
Until all assets of the estate are collected (including resolution of claims against CHS
TX/Yescare), it remains unclear how significant the Debtor estate will be.
Yet the Motion proposes that all Arizona claimants (including Windhurst) be
removed as creditors against the Estate and limited in recovery to a pro rata share of
available insurance proceeds to be paid by Lone Star. Arizona claimants are not being
allowed to participate as general unsecured creditors in recovery from the Debtor’s estate.
§ 1129, Windhurst will be ignored in the Debtor’s Plan, and omitted from payment or
participation. Such an approach contravenes the Code, is in bad faith, fails the best interests

Motion asks this Court to extinguish liability of the Debtor, its insurance companies, and
12
Case 23-90086 Document 858 Filed in TXSB on 08/07/23 Page 13 of 14
various other defendants for a state law wrongful death claim. This Court’s jurisdiction is
explicitly limited to exclude the liquidation of wrongful death cases. 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2),
(4), (5). Although a party may consent to resolution of a wrongful death claim, the CRP is
not opt-in, and Windhurst has not consented to this Court’s jurisdiction. This Court must
allow the state court liquidation process to proceed, and once liquidated, may oversee
administration of the Estate regarding payment of such liability. This Court’s jurisdiction,
however, does not extend to limit the liability or collection from third parties.
For a tort claimant, insurance provides a source of recovery. But insurance is never
a cap or limit on recovery unless the claimant agrees to so limit her claim.
Windhurst has a legal right to collect claims against all defendants found liable when
her claim is eventually liquidated. For the Debtor, there is no dispute that the act of
recovering on that judgment must proceed through the bankruptcy court. But there is no
similar limitation as to other defendants if found responsible for Windhurst’s damages. And
while insurance may be a source of payment for Windhurst’s damages, if the award exceeds
the LSA policy, or even the Coverys policy, Windhurst will nevertheless be able to proceed
The proposed settlement not only contravenes public policy, it violates law. It
conceals relevant facts, attempts to exclude Windhurst as a creditor of this Estate, effects
third party releases, and is inequitable and discriminatory to a subset of unsecured creditors.
In exchange, the Debtor gets little or nothing. Even if the Parties believed the Motion was
intended to increase the total recovery to creditors or the estate, they have badly failed in
proposing a solution which can pass legal muster, and given the substantial risk of prejudice

Mr. Fernandez,
As you are aware, Lone Star Alliance, Inc., a Risk Retention Group (“LSA”) insures Valitas
Health Services, Inc. d/b/a Corizon Health (the “Insured”) under policy number 4-100167 for the
policy period of March 4, 2017 to March 4, 2018 (the “Policy”). The Policy provides claims-
made coverage with a Retroactive Date of March 4, 2013. The Policy contains an “Each Claim
Limit” of $2,000,000 and an “All Claims Limit” (total policy aggregate) of $6,000,000.
In satisfaction of applicable disclosure rules, you are hereby notified as counsel for the Insured
that due to the settlement of unrelated claims the available Jimits remaining under the Policy for
all outstanding or pending matters, including this claim, is $645,396. While the Policy provides
an “Each Claim Limit" of $2,000,000, the “Each Claim Limit” is subject to the “All Claims
Limit", or policy aggregate, of $6,000,000. Therefore, the amount that LSA will pay under the
Policy will not surpass $6,000,000 despite the number or claims or settlements that arise under
the Policy. As stated above, the remaining $645,396 is the amount of limits remaining for all
open or potential claims and/or lawsuits for the 2017-2018 policy year.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to give me a call at 1-(800)-580-8658 ext. 5835.
