And the state argued that this was
a police or regulatory act, which facially is not a terrible argument.
There is a gloss on that provision, which basically says, look, police or regulatory wasn't meant to just to cover where the government is just acting to protect its pecuniary interests.
If the government is just acting to collect money, that isn't what the exception was intended to apply.
to cover.
So we were able to get a federal court order stopping the state from the suspension of payments before it ever went into effect.
And interestingly enough, in conjunction with that, health plans had been notified the suspension was going to start and had started to move patients.
And when we
told the state government that we alerted the provider, the health plans, that those patients were, you know, they couldn't do that.
We argued it was also a violation of the automatic stay.
And they said, well, look, we were told by the state that they were going to suspend payments.
The state, the judge asked the state what they were going to do to fix that problem.
The state argued that it was a coincidence that after 40 years,
the providers, the health plans were moving patients, but it had nothing to do with the suspension, which didn't really even pass the straight face test.
So the court ordered the state to tell the health plans to move the patients back.
And we were able to then cut a deal with the government, the state government, and sell the assets to a better financially situated operator.
which provide, you know, preserved health care for 18 clinics in rural California, not insignificant.
And we then, in cases with Augie on the other side, in cases like CuraTech and Global Wound Care, both in Houston within the wound care space, we were able to negotiate stipulations, file bankruptcy, and then in that context, we're able to negotiate stipulations with the government to get the payments restored, at least in part,
to allow the company to have a breathing spell while we negotiated a settlement.
In Curatech, we were able to negotiate a settlement with the government that allowed the company to reorganize and emerge from bankruptcy.
