CIVIL ACTION NO. 4:25-CV-02650
BEAZLEY INSURANCE COMPANY, INC.,

Appellees.
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This is an appeal from an Order denying SandRidge Energy, Inc.’s motion to reopen its
bankruptcy case and enforce its Chapter 11 Plan where SandRidge, as part of its Plan, assumed the
indemnity obligation and D & O Policies pursuant to § 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, which Plan
did not discharge the obligations.
The details of the dispute(s), arguments and authorities are sufficiently set out in the
Bankruptcy Judge’s Memorandum and Opinion [DE 1543] and will not be restated here.
The Bankruptcy Court addressed SandRidge’s motion to reopen the Bankruptcy case
finding that no good cause to reopen the case existed and denied, SandRidge’s motion. The
Bankruptcy Court went on to address other issues regarding the nature of the contract obligations
and the status of the provisions under the Plan. However, those issues are not relevant here.
In light of the fact that the Bankruptcy’s Court’s decision to not reopen the Bankruptcy
case does not impact the rights of the parties to resolve their differences in the Oklahoma case and
that the decision was not an abuse of discretion or contrary to law, the Court is of the opinion that
the Bankruptcy Court’s decision to not reopen the Bankruptcy case should be Affirmed.
