Confirmation and settlement hearing reset for August 20
The Villages Health System’s combined disclosure-statement and confirmation hearing, together with its proposed settlements with the United States and developer-related parties, will proceed August 20 at 9:30 a.m. The rescheduling notice sets an August 13 objection deadline for the creditors’ committee, UHC, Blue Cross, the government, and the developer, while leaving the May 15 settlement-objection deadline intact for other parties. Discovery is stayed through August 3, and other deadlines tied to confirmation—including those established under Dkts. 458, 463, and 464—now run from the August 20 hearing date.
The new date completes the continuance ordered after the July 8–9 confirmation and Rule 9019 proceedings were converted into a status conference. That continuance order also extends the debtor’s plan exclusivity through the conclusion of the rescheduled confirmation hearing. Professionals should now treat August 3, August 13, and August 20 as the operative litigation and confirmation milestones for the plan and both settlements.
