ORDER OF REFERENCE

On December 18, 2012, a suggestion of bankruptcy was filed on behalf of Melissa J.
McClellan, a defendant in this case. (ECF No. 13.) McClellan states that she has filed a petition for
relief in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nebraska, “which bears the case
number BK#12-82809,” and “[r]elief was ordered on December 14, 2012.” (Id. ¶¶ 1-2.) She also
states, “This action is founded on a claim from which a discharge would be a release or that seeks
to impose a charge on the property of the estate,” and she “suggests that this action has been stayed
by the operation of 11 U.S.C. § 362.” (Id. at 1 & ¶ 3.)
Nebraska General Rule 1.5(a)(1) states, in part, “Upon the filing of a suggestion in
bankruptcy, or other notification that a party to a civil case is a debtor in a bankruptcy case, the entire
case is referred to the bankruptcy court for further action.”

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that:

1.

The suggestion of bankruptcy, (ECF No. 13), is judicially noted, and pursuant to
NEGenR 1.5(a)(1), this case is referred to the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Nebraska.

2.

The Clerk of the United States District Court for the District of Nebraska shall
transmit the court file to the Clerk of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Nebraska.

Dated January 22, 2013.
