1015(b) and Local Bankruptcy Rule 1015-2.
The Court has jurisdiction to consider the Motion and the relief requested in the Motion
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334. Venue of these cases in this district is proper pursuant

the request for an expedited hearing, in its Order Granting Debtors’ Motion for Expedited
Hearing to Consider Certain Interim, First-Day Relief (Doc. No. 15).
The Court has considered the Motion and the statements and arguments made at a
hearing on the Motion held on May 12, 2017. This Court has determined that the relief
requested in the Motion is in the best interests of Debtors, their estates, creditors, and other
parties in interest.
Debtors gave due and proper notice of the Motion and the Court has
determined that additional or further notice of the Motion is not necessary. The Court has
determined that the legal and factual bases set forth in the Motion establish just cause for the
relief granted in this Order, and after due deliberation, and sufficient cause appearing therefor,
IT IS ORDERED THAT:
1.
The Motion is GRANTED as set forth herein.
2.
The above-captioned Chapter 11 cases shall hereby be jointly administered by
this Court in the case of Oconee Regional Health Systems, Inc., Case No. 17-51005 (the “Main
