Stay lifted for Willie Jackson personal-injury suit
The court granted Willie Jackson, Jr. unopposed relief from the automatic stay to continue Willie Jackson, Jr. v. Samantha Simmons, et al., Civil Action No. 25EV003453, in Fulton County against RHCSC Savannah Health Holdings LLC. Jackson had noticed the July 9 hearing through his stay-relief hearing notice and motion, seeking to liquidate a personal-injury claim outside the Chapter 11 case while limiting any recovery against the debtor to available insurance proceeds.
The no-opposition stay-relief order lets Jackson proceed through judgment and appeals, collect from insurance policies or non-debtor parties, and does not permit direct collection from the respondent debtor. The court also waived the 14-day stay under Bankruptcy Rule 4001(a)(3), so the litigation could resume immediately. For case followers, the point is narrow but substantive: a personal-injury claim will be liquidated in state court without immediate estate collection exposure, leaving the recovery path focused on insurance and non-debtor sources.
