IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEBRASKA
CREATIVE RETAIL PACKAGING,
INC., a Texas corporation;
8:16-CV-411
Plaintiff,
BANKRUPTCY REFERRAL
ORDER

vs.
FREEDOM FOODS, a nonprofit
Minnesota corporation; and KIDS
AGAINST HUNGER, a nonprofit
Minnesota corporation;
Defendant.

A default judgment has been entered against Defendant Kids Against
Hunger in the above-captioned case. Filing 46. Kids Against Hunger has filed
for bankruptcy protection in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Minnesota, Case No. 17-42681.
The bankruptcy trustee in that matter, David Doyle, has engaged in
settlement discussions for recovery against Freedom Foods. This court has
awaited the outcome of those discussions to determine whether and how this
case should be progressed, with counsel in this forum providing monthly
updates apprising the assigned magistrate judge of the progress toward
settlement in the Minnesota bankruptcy forum. Based on today’s conference
call with the parties, a prompt settlement is unlikely.

Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED:
1.

This case is referred to the United States Bankruptcy Court for
the District of Minnesota;

2.

The Clerk of the United States District Court for the District of
Nebraska shall close this case for statistical purposes; and

3.

The Clerk of the United States District Court for the District of
Nebraska shall deliver, or send electronically, the court file to the
Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court for the District of Minnesota.

Dated this 19th day of April, 2018.
BY THE COURT:
