THESE MATTERS are presented to the Court upon the Application of the Defendants

the payment of certain funds from the Excess Liability Fund.
The Court, being fully advised in the premises, finds as follows:

These actions arises out of alleged malpractice from the rendering of medical care
to the Plaintiff Thomas M. Fredricksen, Jr. as more fully set forth in the Plaintiff’s “Complaint
and Jury Demand” filed in the United States District Court for the District of Nebraska, Omaha
Division, at Case No. 8:15-cv-270 and 8:15cv274.

At all times relevant herein, Defendants were qualified health care providers
under the Nebraska Hospital-Medical Liability Act, §44-2801 et. Seq. R.R.S. 1943 (Reissue
2010).
3.
That this settlement is in compromise of a doubtful and disputed claim and all
allegations of negligence have been expressly denied by the Defendants and payment hereof is
not to be construed as an admission of liability on their part. This court is aware of the terms

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the settlement described above and the contribution
toward that settlement by the Excess Liability Fund are hereby approved.
