Civil No. 2:13-MC-279
(Judge Brann)
(Magistrate Judge Carlson)
Bankruptcy No. 13-17039

MEMORANDUM ORDER
THE BACKGROUND OF THIS ORDER IS AS FOLLOWS:
This is a bankruptcy matter filed in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, which
upon a recusal was assigned to the Honorable Matthew Brann, United States District
Judge, and referred to the undersigned. The specific bankruptcy matter currently
before us relates to a complaint objecting to the debtor’s discharge pursuant to 11
U.S.C. §727, which was filed by Lloyd Wing, Jr., on November 18, 2013. Because
Mr. Wing is related to a judge of the bankruptcy court in the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania, a judgment was made that recusal was appropriate and this matter was
referred to this Court and then assigned to the undersigned.

In the meanwhile, though, it appears that these bankruptcy proceedings moved
forward and may have reached a resolution which may make further action in this
case unnecessary. Specifically, we note that the Trustee’s Final Report on October
9, 2014, seems to propose to pay all allowed unsecured claims in full, including the
allowed claim of the plaintiff in this adversary proceeding, Lloyd Wing, in the
amount of $7,000.
In light of these developments, which suggest that this dispute is now moot, IT
IS ORDERED that on or before November 17, 2014, the parties shall notify the
Court regarding whether this dispute is now moot. If the parties conclude that there
remains a live dispute between the parties, the parties shall jointly notify the Court
of at least three dates when they would be jointly available to travel to Harrisburg to
conduct a preliminary status conference in this case. If we have not heard from the
parties by November 17, 2014, we shall assume that no live dispute remains between
these parties, and act accordingly.
So order this 3d day of November, 2014.
