Prime Healthcare Services, LLC v. Brotman Medical Center, Inc.
Prime Healthcare Services, LLC v. Brotman Medical Center, Inc.
Opinion
MEMORANDUM **
We affirm the judgment of the district court that Prime Healthcare Services, LLC’s appeal of the confirmation order is equitably moot. Here, the substantial consummation of the reorganization plan is a “comprehensive change of circumstances” which makes granting the relief sought inequitable. See Focus Media v. Nat’l Broadcasting Co., 378 F.3d 916, 923 (9th *318 Cir. 2004). Requiring Brotman Medical Center, Inc. to pay Prime Healthcare an additional sum of money would unjustly affect the rights of other creditors and investors, particularly Brotmaris shareholders, whose equity interests would be placed below Prime Healthcare’s claim. Because allowing Prime Healthcare to contest the now-consummated reorganization plan “would knock the props out from under the authorization for every transaction that has taken place,” In re Roberts Farms, Inc., 652 F.2d 798, 797 (9th Cir. 1981), we affirm. 1
AFFIRMED.
