ORDER ADOPTING RECOMMENDATION TO DISTRICT COURT TO
WITHDRAW REFERENCE IN ORDER TO SCHEDULE AND CONDUCT JURY TRIAL
On May 29, 2014, United States Bankruptcy Judge
Robert J. Faris issued a Recommendation to District Court to
Withdraw Reference in Order to Schedule and Conduct Jury Trial
(“Recommendation”), in which he recommended that the district
court withdraw the reference for this adversary proceeding for
the limited purposes of opening a civil case and setting a date
for a jury trial.

[Dkt. no. 1-1.]

Judge Faris also recommended

that the district court leave the proceeding in the bankruptcy
court for all other purposes until sixty days prior to the trial
date to facilitate prompt resolution of this matter and to allow
the bankruptcy court to set meaningful deadlines for the
completion of all pretrial matters.

[Id. at 2.]

Having considered Judge Faris’s Recommendation and good
cause appearing therefore, this Court HEREBY WITHDRAWS the
reference as detailed above.

A Scheduling Conference to set a

trial date and deadlines for trial-related submissions
shall be held before United States Magistrate Judge
Richard L. Puglisi on Thursday, July 3, 2014 at 9:00 a.m.
Judge Faris shall retain jurisdiction over the adversary
proceeding for all other purposes until sixty days prior to the
trial date to facilitate prompt resolution of this matter and to
set meaningful deadlines for the completion of all pretrial
matters.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
