This matter was taken under submission on January

18, 2008. Having considered all the papers submitted in

conjunction with this matter, the COURT NOW RULES AS

FOLLOWS: 

Appellees Motion to Dismiss is GRANTED. This Court

agrees with Appellees that there has been no final

determination by the Bankruptcy Court, thus the District

Court has no jurisdiction to hear the case at the

present time. 

Moreover, the Court declines to exercise

discretionary review, as to do so would cause judicial

inefficiency. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

 

 HONORABLE RONALD S.W. LEW

 Senior, U.S. District Court Judge

DATE: January 29, 2008
