Chief Bankruptcy Judge Ronald Sargis has filed a recommendation that the District Court withdraw
reference of this adversary proceeding under 28 U.S.C. § 157(d). The bankruptcy debtor is the plaintiff in
this adversary proceeding. The substance of the complaint concerns the reopening of plaintiff’s bankruptcy
case; Bankruptcy Judges Frederick Clement and Richard Lee, both of whom sit in this Court’s Fresno
division, are among the many defendants. The parties are ordered to show cause in writing by February 6,
2017, why reference to this adversary proceeding should not be withdrawn and transferred to this Court

20
under 28 U.S.C. §§ 1404 and 1412.

21
In addition all parties are cautioned that informal contacts made to the chambers of a judge are

22
ethically forbidden and will be dealt with seriously and severely.

23
IT IS SO ORDERED.
