Narrative Opinion Summary
The case involves an emergency motion for clarification filed by Preston Hollow Capital, UMB Bank N.A., and TMI Trust Company concerning a previous judicial order issued on July 8, 2022. This order, which was in favor of Senior Care Living, VI, LLC, stayed all collection and judgment enforcement activities linked to a receivership order dated August 4, 2021. The appellees sought clarification due to perceived ambiguities, as Senior Care's interpretation suggested the receivership was effectively discharged, potentially altering the status quo. Senior Care opposed the motion, arguing that the appellees were attempting to modify the order to resume enforcement of the judgment. After reviewing the submissions, the court clarified that its July 8, 2022 order did not terminate the receivership but was intended to maintain the existing conditions while motions concerning the supersedeas order were under review. The court's decision effectively stayed any actions to sell or dispose of Senior Care's assets in enforcement of the final judgment, pending the resolution of related motions or further court orders. Judge April Farris signed the clarifying order on July 21, 2022.
