OPINION AND ORDER
Defendants Kari Romey and Douglas Romey want this Court to withdraw the
reference of this case to the bankruptcy court. (Docket Entry 1.) I have reviewed the
motion and briefing, as well as Bankruptcy Judge Grant’s recommendation that the
motion for withdrawal of the reference be denied. (DE 2-1 at 6.) Judge Grant’s reasoning
is sound, so I will adopt his recommendation and DENY Defendants’ motion to
withdraw the reference. (DE 1.) Because time is of the essence in order to maintain the
existing litigation schedule a fuller opinion explaining my reasoning will follow this
Order.
SO ORDERED.
ENTERED: February 13, 2015
