Executive Summary
The Delaware Court of Chancery denied Centurion Equity's motion for leave to file supplemental briefing in a dispute over indemnification for medical malpractice claims related to Centene's former subsidiary MHM Services. The ruling is a procedural win for Centene, as the court found Centurion's arguments had already been fully briefed and argued, and granting the motion would prejudice Centene. This removes a near-term procedural risk but does not resolve the underlying indemnification dispute.
