Heading: Extent of Whitehurst's Damages

Text: 51 As the final point of our analysis, we observe that on appeal the Plan also challenged the district court's additional findings--apparently articulated by that court just in case we were to determine that the Pro Rata division of Whitehurst's recovery would be appropriate--regarding the total amount of damages suffered by Whitehurst and the percentage of those damages attributable to medical expenses. As we reverse the district court's judgment in favor of Whitehurst and render judgment in favor of the Plan, recognizing its right to full, dollar-for-dollar reimbursement off the top of Whitehurst's recoveries from his tortfeasor and the tortfeasor's insurer, we need not and therefore do not reach the question whether the district court erred in making additional findings on the extent of Whitehurst's total damages. The matter is now moot. III
