IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEBRASKA UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, 8:15-CV-57 vs. ORDER WILLIAM LEE DOUGLAS, II, et al., Defendants. This matter is before the Court on the suggestion of bankruptcy filed by two of the defendants, William Lee Douglas II and Denise K. Douglas (filing 13). NEGenR 1.5(a)(1) provides that [u]pon 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 court issues an order staying further proceedings in the case as to the party in bankruptcy. The case may proceed as to any parties not in bankruptcy. If any party files a motion requesting referral of the case to the bankruptcy court, the case is referred to the bankruptcy court for further action. Upon receiving the referral, the bankruptcy judge requests status reports from the parties. After reviewing the status reports, the bankruptcy judge determines whether the case should proceed in bankruptcy court or be returned to district court. If the case is to be returned to district court, the bankruptcy judge files a report and recommendation concerning withdrawal of the reference. The report includes a recommendation regarding the necessity of the debtor’s participation in the case, and, if appropriate, the bankruptcy judge enters an order in the bankruptcy case granting relief from the automatic stay to allow the case to proceed with the debtor as a party. IT IS ORDERED: 1. This case is stayed as to defendants William Lee Douglas II and Denise K. Douglas, pursuant to NEGenR 1.5(a)(1). 2. The case may proceed as to defendants Household Finance Corporation III and Diana F. Carnahan. Dated this 27th day of April, 2015. BY THE COURT: John M. Gerrard United States District Judge -2-
