Baltimore Emergency Services II, LLC

1This Court has determined that the claim of Pace & Goldston was incorrectly
calculated, to the detriment of the claimant. 	When properly totaled, the numbers
contained in documents appended to the proof of claim add up to $95,429.91, rather
than the figure claimed of $88,255.33. A review of the invoices submitted in support
of the claim reveals several obvious errors. 	For example, the identical amount of
$15,291.27 is asserted as the total of two different invoices. 	The Court’s own
calculations indicated that all of the totals submitted on the face sheet of the
claimant’s exhibit submitted at the hearing were incorrect. Nevertheless, for purposes
of the objection, the parties have treated the claim as having been calculated correctly.

FINDINGS OF FACT
1. 	On November 8, 2002 and November 11, 2002, Baltimore Emergency
Services II, LLC and its affiliates (the “debtors”) filed 240 Chapter 11 cases in this
Court. Case Nos. 02-67576 through 02-67815.
2. On February 28, 2003, another 16 affiliated debtors filed additional Chapter
11 petitions. Case Nos. 03-53267 through 03-53282.
4. On April 23, 2003, another Chapter 11 case was filed by General Emergency
Medical Services, LLC. Case No. 03-56806.
5. By order [P. 780] dated June 12, 2003, the Court (Derby, J.) directed that the
foregoing Chapter 11 cases be jointly administered under Case No. 02-67584.
6. The debtors operated three businesses in the field of health care. Two of the
businesses were national physician practice management companies that provided
staffing and physician management services for hospitals, primarily for emergency
departments. The third business was a network of medical clinics that offered services
in primary and urgent care, pediatrics and gynecology. The debtors had over 2,000
physicians under contract at approximately 250 hospitals and 26 clinics, with an
estimated patient population of four million people. Motion for Joint Administration,
[P. 624] ¶¶ 3 and 4.
Case 02-67584 Doc 4034 Filed 10/15/08 Page 2 of 19

7. One of the debtor’s pre-petition malpractice insurers was The Reciprocal
Alliance (“TRA”). Under the insurance contract between TRA and the debtors, TRA
had a duty to pay for the defense of any medical malpractice claim asserted against the
debtors. 	Debtors’ Ex. No. 1, p. 6, ¶ B. The TRA policy was in effect from January
1, 1999 to January 1, 2002, during which time 76 claims were filed against the debtors
and/or their physician employees.
8. Pace and Goldston (“the claimant”) is a law firm engaged by TRA to defend
two of the debtors’ contract physicians against lawsuits for medical malpractice. Pace
and Goldston worked under a contract with TRA that has not been entered into
evidence. 	Pace and Goldston submitted into evidence the invoices upon which its
proof of claim was based. 	The invoices cover the period from July 1, 2002 to
December 20, 2002 (with some minor charges incurred in January 2003). Although
some of the invoices are marked as paid, it is uncontested that they were all unpaid by
TRA, and that the ones marked “Paid” were paid by checks later determined to be
worthless. 	Of the $95,429.91 amount reflected in the invoices, the Court has
determined that $76,339.61 represents the prepetition portion of the claim, and that
$19,030.30 is the amount of the postpetition claim.
9. On January 28, 2003, TRA’s reinsurer, Reciprocal of America, was placed
into receivership by the State of Virginia. 	On January 31, 2003, the Tennessee
Case 02-67584 Doc 4034 Filed 10/15/08 Page 3 of 19

4
Department of Insurance, by consent order, placed TRA in receivership and
announced its intention to liquidate the company. Afterward, the debtors obtained
additional self-funded policies of insurance from Everest Indemnity Insurance Co.
(“Everest”) and American International Surplus Lines Insurance Co. (“AISLIC”) to
provide coverage for the TRA insureds. The new policies provided coverage on an
excess basis, and are in addition to any coverage that may be available from the TRA
estate, provided that the excess coverage and any recovery from the TRA estate is
limited to $1 million per claim. This coverage provides compensation for “claims
filed” against physicians who were the insureds of TRA.
10. 	By order [P. 839] entered on July 1, 2003, the debtors implemented an
alternative dispute resolution procedure (the “PrePlan ADR”) for the liquidation and
satisfaction of malpractice claims. The confirmation order approved the Plan’s ADR
in its entirety.
12. On November 20, 21, 24 and 25, 2003, Judge Derby conducted hearings
on the sale of substantially all of the debtors’ assets, pursuant to the Second Amended
Joint Plan of Reorganization of Baltimore Emergency Services II, LLC and Its
Affiliated Debtors (the “Plan”). At the conclusion of the hearing, the Court approved
the offer of Sterling Healthcare, Inc. (“Sterling”).
Case 02-67584 Doc 4034 Filed 10/15/08 Page 4 of 19

2By order [P. 1890] entered on February 10, 2004, Judge Derby authorized Pace
& Goldston to file a late claim by reason of the claimant’s excusable neglect, in
response to its unopposed motion to do so filed on December 16, 2003 [P. 1728].
5
13. On December 17, 2003, the was Plan was confirmed by order [P. 1739]
signed by Judge Derby.
14. On February 1, 2004, the Asset Purchase Agreement was executed between
Sterling and certain debtors. The sale closed on February 6, 2004.
15. 	As part of the purchase price, 	Sterling assumed the debtors’ medical
malpractice liabilities and agreed to fund them through policies of insurance which it
agreed to purchase to provide funding for the distribution scheme contained in the
Plan ADR. Asset Purchase Agreement, § 2.13, Exhibit C to the confirmation order
dated December 17, 2003 [P. 1739].
16. On February 6, 2004, the effective date of the Plan, the debtors declared
that all the conditions precedent to the effectiveness of the Plan were satisfied in
accordance with its terms.
17. 	After the Asset Purchase Agreement was executed, two of the debtors’
principal medical policies, the Everest-021 policy and the AISLIC-435 policy, became
insolvent, requiring Sterling to assume the debtors’ medical malpractice liabilities.
18. On February 16, 2004, Pace & Goldston filed an untimely proof of claim2
(Claim No. 1193) as a general unsecured creditor in the amount of $88,255.33,
Case 02-67584 Doc 4034 Filed 10/15/08 Page 5 of 19

3PhyAmerica Physician Group, Inc., doing business as SMS Merger Corp., was
one of the 240 debtor entities that filed Chapter 11 on November 11, 2002. Case No.
02-67737.
6
pursuant to Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure 3003(c) and 9006(b)(1).
Documents attached to the proof of claim indicated that the claim was based upon an
insurance policy (Policy No. APL1510800) issued by TRA, in which the insured was
indicated to be PhyAmerica Physician Group, Inc. 3
20. On November 8, 2004, the debtors filed an objection [P. 2864] to the proof
of claim, pursuant to Sections 502(b), 1106(a) and 1107(a) of the Bankruptcy Code
and Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure 3003 and 3007.
21. Judge Derby addressed the extent of Sterling’s responsibility to purchase
additional 	policies 	of 	insurance 	in 	a 	“Memorandum 	Opinion 	Clarifying 	and
Interpreting Confirmation Documents” [P. 342], dated April 28, 2005, in Sterling
Healthcare, Inc., et al., Plaintiffs v. American International Specialty Lines Insurance
Co., et al., Defendants, Adversary Proceeding No. 04-2322-SD. In the opinion, Judge
Derby made the following findings of fact and conclusions of law that are relevant to
the instant controversy:
Part of the purchase price paid by Sterling was the assumption of
the debtor’s medical malpractice liabilities. Sterling also agreed to fund
the medical practice liabilities through insurance.
Memorandum Opinion at 3, citing Section 2.13 of the Asset Purchase Agreement.
Case 02-67584 Doc 4034 Filed 10/15/08 Page 6 of 19

4The liquidation trustee has taken up the debtors’ objection as his own.
7
22. The liquidation trustee4 and the claimant have each cited Judge Derby’s
opinion in support of their respective positions.
23. The opinion addressed the problem that neither policy had sufficient funds
to pay the remaining claims covered by the policies. 	Judge Derby set out the
procedures for handling prepetition and postpetition malpractice claims in light of the
shortage of insurance coverage, but also stated that the Court would “not address any
issues for pre- or post-petition claims under insurance policies where either the
coverage has not been shown to be inadequate or the companies that issued the
policies are being administered in receivership.” 	Memorandum Opinion at 13.
Therefore, TRA was explicitly excluded from Judge Derby’s ruling.
24. The liquidation trustee argued that the claim appears to be asserted against
a non-debtor entity. 	The invoices that the claimant attached to its proof of claim
referenced TRA as the responsible party and not the debtors. It is further noted that
there is no privity between them and no contract between the debtors and the claimant
that provided for the claimant to represent any of the doctors under the insurance plan.
25. The liquidation trustee also argued that there are two levels to the analysis
of whether the trust for the unsecured creditors under the Plan and the ADR are
responsible for paying the claim. The first is the determination whether the claimant
Case 02-67584 Doc 4034 Filed 10/15/08 Page 7 of 19

8
has a claim against the bankruptcy estate, and second, if so, how the claim is to be
paid.
26. 	If the claim could be allowed against the estate, the liquidation trustee
contends that it must be paid pro rata with other unsecured tort claims in Class 4B,
because Judge Derby so held in the April 28, 2005 opinion. However, because the
Plan contemplated that Pace & Goldston would be paid solely from insurance policies
(the TRA insurance policies), the liquidation trustee contends that the claim must be
disallowed.
27. Pace & Goldston argued that its claim is based upon either a third party
beneficiary theory or quasi-contract principles under state law. It contended that the
law firm performed its contract with TRA. It also contended that, having no relation
to unsecured tort claimants, the claim should not be paid pro rata with other claims
in Class 4B. 	Its duty as counsel was owed to the doctors it represented, and by
implication, the debtors, and not the insurance companies, citing Rule of Professional
Conduct 5.4.

2. In the case of Valley Historic Ltd. Partnership v. Bank of New York, 486
F.3d 831 (4th Cir. 2007), the Fourth Circuit expounded on the extent of the subject
Case 02-67584 Doc 4034 Filed 10/15/08 Page 10 of 19

11
matter jurisdiction that a bankruptcy court may exercise in a Chapter 11 case after the
confirmation of a plan:
Pacor [, Inc. v. Higgins, 743 F.2d 984, 994 (3d Cir.1984)] was
decided in a pre-confirmation context, however, and the Third Circuit
has since examined “related to” jurisdiction from a somewhat different
analytical perspective, in a post-confirmation context. Recognizing that
“[c]ourts have applied varying standards to determine whether ‘related
to’ jurisdiction should be upheld post-confirmation,” it endeavored to
distill the “essential inquiry” or common thread throughout the decisions,
including our decision in Bergstrom. Binder v. Price Waterhouse & Co.
( In re Resorts Int'l, Inc.), 372 F.3d 154, 166 (3d Cir. 2004). In its view,
“the essential inquiry appears to be whether there is a close nexus to the
bankruptcy plan or proceeding sufficient to uphold bankruptcy court
jurisdiction over the matter.” Id. at 166-67. According to the court, for
“related to” jurisdiction to exist at “the post-confirmation stage, the
claim must affect an integral aspect of the bankruptcy process – there
must be a close nexus to the bankruptcy plan or proceeding.” Id. at 167.
Practically speaking, under this inquiry “[m]atters that affect the
interpretation, 	implementation, 	consummation, 	execution, 	or
administration of the confirmed plan will typically have the requisite
close nexus.” Id.
We find the Third Circuit's “close nexus” requirement to be a
logical corollary of “related to” jurisdiction. Analytically, it insures that
the proceeding serves a bankruptcy administration purpose on the date
the bankruptcy court exercises that jurisdiction. Without such a purpose,
“related to” jurisdiction would extend beyond the limited jurisdiction
conferred upon bankruptcy courts in the post-confirmation context.
486 F.3d at 836-7.
3. Under 11 U.S.C. § 502(a), a creditor’s proof of claim is deemed allowed
unless a party-in-interest objects. When there is an objection by an interested party,
Case 02-67584 Doc 4034 Filed 10/15/08 Page 11 of 19

12
the Court shall, after notice and a hearing, determine the proper amount of the claim
as of the date of the petition, and shall allow such claim unless such claim fits into one
of the categories forbidden by 11 U.S.C. § 502(b). Under 11 U.S.C. § 502(b)(1), the
claim should not be allowed if it would not be enforceable under applicable law.
Under Bankruptcy Rule 3001(f), a proof of claim filed in appropriate form with
appropriate documentation shall constitute prima facie evidence of its validity. To
overcome this presumption, the objecting party must demonstrate by evidence, a
defense to one or more elements of the cause of action asserted in the claim, which
would render the claim unenforceable. See In re Gates, 214 B.R. 467, 472 (Bankr. D.
Md. 1997) (Keir, J.)
4. The Court must sustain the objection because there is no evidence that under
state law, the claim of Pace & Goldston would be enforceable.
5. There has been no argument as to which state’s law this Court should apply.
The insurance contract between TRA and PhyAmerica contains no governing forum
selection clause. 	TRA is now in receivership under the aegis of the Tennessee
Department of Insurance. 	Pace & Goldston is based in Texas and presumably
performed its work there. PhyAmerica was based in North Carolina.
6. Federal Courts must apply the conflict of law rules of the jurisdictions in
which they are situated. Klaxon Co. v. Stentor Elec. Mfg. Co., 313 U.S. 487, 496, 61
Case 02-67584 Doc 4034 Filed 10/15/08 Page 12 of 19

13
S. Ct. 1020, 1021-22, 85 L. Ed 1477 (1941). In contract cases, Maryland courts apply
the principle of lex locus contractus, pursuant to the law of the jurisdiction where the
contract is made determines its validity and construction. E. Stainless Corp. v. Am.
Protection Ins. Co., 829 F. Supp. 797, 799 (D. Md. 1993) (citing Kramer v. Bally’s
Park Place, 311 Md. 387, 390, 535 A.2d 466 (1988)). The insurance contract in the
instant case indicated that it was finalized at the “mailing address of the named
insured [PhyAmerica Physician Group, Inc]...” 	Claimant’s Exhibit No. 1, p. 2.
Accordingly, as to the allegation of Pace & Goldston that it was a third-party
beneficiary of the contract between the debtors and TRA, this Court must apply the
law of North Carolina.
7. However, as to the claimant’s assertion that it is a party to a quasi-contract
with the debtor, the lex loci contractus principle is inapplicable because there is no
actual contract, and thus no final place of formation. 	This Court has found no
Maryland case applying choice of law principles to an alleged quasi-contract. 	In
circumstances where the choice of law is questionable, Maryland courts have relied
upon the Second Restatement of Conflicts of Laws. See, e.g. Traylor v. Grafton, 273
Md. 649, 660, 332 A.2d 651, 659 (1975); see also Accrued Fin. Servs., Inc. v. Prime
Retail, Inc., 298 F.3d 291, 300 (4th Cir. 2002) (Michael, J., dissenting) (Maryland has
Case 02-67584 Doc 4034 Filed 10/15/08 Page 13 of 19

14
adopted section 187 of the Restatement (Second) of Conflict of Laws). 	The
Restatement asserts:
The validity of a contract for the rendition of services and the
rights created thereby are determined, in the absence of an effective
choice of law by the parties, by the local law of the state where the
contract requires that the services, or a major portion of the services, be
rendered, unless, with respect to the particular issue, some other state has
a more significant relationship under the principles stated in § 6 to the
transaction and the parties, in which event the local law of the other state
will be applied.
Restatement (Second) of Conflicts of Laws § 196 (1971).
8. Pace & Goldston performed the services entirely in Texas, and accordingly,
Texas law governs the existence of a quasi-contract between the claimant and 	the
debtors.
9. The Court has found no cases from North Carolina or Texas, and only one
case nationally, where a law firm, unable to collect payment from the insurance
company which engaged its services, sued the insured party for attorney’s fees. See
Cooper v. Cranin, 479 N.Y.S.2d 254 (N.Y. App. Div. 1984). In that case, a lawyer
was purportedly hired by an insurance company to defend a dental malpractice claim.
Id. at 255. 	Unbeknownst to everyone, the insurance company did not exist. 	Id.
Reversing a lower court’s refusal to allow the dentist to substitute counsel upon
learning of this information without paying the attorney’s unpaid fees, the New York
Case 02-67584 Doc 4034 Filed 10/15/08 Page 14 of 19

15
Supreme Court, Appellate Division held that because the dentist had paid over
$15,000 in malpractice premiums in order to obtain the benefit of a legal defense, and
had no role in selecting the lawyer, the lawyer could not collect from the dentist. Id.
10. It is acknowledged that Cooper dealt only briefly with the underlying issue
determinative in the present case, and thus is unimpressive with regard to any
precedential value. 	However, the Court finds that the sparse treatment given the
matter by Cooper and the lack of any other precedent on the issue is illustrative of the
tenuousness of the claimant’s argument.
11. More common are the attempts by law firms to collect unpaid insurance
claims from agencies or organizations created by states that guarantee insurance
obligations. In one such case, a law firm attempted to fit into the guarantor’s narrow
definition of “covered claim” by asserting its status as a third-party beneficiary and
also as a party to a quasi-contractual agreement. See White v. Alaska Ins. Guar. Ass’n,
592 P.2d 367 (Alaska 1979). Affirming the trial court’s rejection of these arguments,
the Supreme Court of Alaska found that the law firms were only incidental
beneficiaries of the contract between the insurance company and its policyholders.
Id. at 369. Because there was no evidence that the policyholders and the insurance
companies contracted with the purpose of benefitting the law firms, the law firm could
Case 02-67584 Doc 4034 Filed 10/15/08 Page 15 of 19

16
not claim third-party beneficiary status merely by relying on the contract. 	Id.,
citing Century Ins. Agency v. City Commerce Corp., 396 P.2d 80, 82 (Alaska 1964).
12. 	Under North Carolina law, a party seeking to sue in a third-party
beneficiary capacity must show:
(1) that a contract exists between two persons or entities; (2) that
the contract is valid and enforceable; and (3) that the contract was
executed for the direct, and not incidental, benefit of the [third party]. A
person is a direct beneficiary of the contract if the contracting parties
intended to confer a legally enforceable benefit on that person. It is not
enough that the contract, in fact, benefits the [third party], if, when the
contract was made, the contracting parties did not intend it to benefit the
[third party] directly. In determining the intent of the contracting parties,
the court should consider the circumstances surrounding the transaction
as well as the actual language of the contract. When a third person seeks
enforcement of a contract made between other parties, the contract must
be construed strictly against the party seeking enforcement.
Babb v. Bynum & Murphrey, PLLC, 182 N.C. App. 750, 754. 643 S.E.2d 55, 57-58
(2007), quoting Country Boys Auction & Realty Co. v. Carolina Warehouse, Inc., 180
N.C. App. 141, 146, 636 S.E.2d 309, 313 (2006).
13. Pace & Goldston does not have standing to sue as a third-party beneficiary
because there is no evidence that the debtors intended to benefit Pace & Goldston
when they contracted with TRA.
Case 02-67584 Doc 4034 Filed 10/15/08 Page 16 of 19

17
14. 	Nor does Pace & Goldston have standing to enforce its claim under a
theory of quantum meruit or quasi-contract. Under Texas law, in order to establish
liability under that theory, one must prove:
(1) valuable services were rendered or materials furnished; (2) for
the person sought to be charged; (3) which services and materials were
accepted by the person sought to be charged, used and enjoyed by him;
(4) under such circumstances as reasonably notified the person sought to
be charged that the plaintiff in performing such services was expecting
to be paid by the person sought to be charged.
In re Guardianship of Fortenberry, – S.W.3d –, 2008 WL 3984046 at *8 (Tex. App),
quoting Vortt Exploration Co. v. Chevron U.S.A., Inc., 787 S.W.2d 942, 944 (Tex.
1990).
15. Pace &Goldston cannot prove the existence of a quasi-contract under Texas
law because there is no proof before the Court that the debtors were reasonably
notified that they were expected by Pace & Goldston to pay the legal fees that
normally would have been paid by TRA. TRA went into receivership on January 31,
2003, approximately the same time when Pace & Golston’s invoices end. While the
Court makes no finding as to the debtor’s knowledge of TRA’s pending insolvency,
there is no evidence on the record that Pace & Goldston communicated to the debtor
an expectation that the debtor would pay its fees. In fact, TRA attempted to pay Pace
& Goldston for some of its work, but its check bounced. Under such circumstances,
Case 02-67584 Doc 4034 Filed 10/15/08 Page 17 of 19

18
the Court cannot impute to the debtor knowledge that Pace & Goldston expected its
payment to come from anyone other than TRA. The debtor timely paid its premiums
to TRA, and TRA had a duty to pay any attorney hired to defend the debtor. There
is no reason to believe that at any point, the debtor assumed TRA’s obligations in this
regard.
16. 	Because the Court has decided that Pace & Goldston does not have an
allowable claim, it need not decide what class such claim would fall under were it to
have been allowed. It is enough that neither the Plan nor the appended documents
provided for the treatment of the claim.
WHEREFORE, the debtors’ objection will be SUSTAINED and the claim of
Pace & Goldston will be DISALLOWED.
ORDER ACCORDINGLY.
