UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

In re, CASE NO. 07cv1355-IEG(RBB)

Bankruptcy Case No. 07-00989-LA11

Adversary Case No. 07-90078

Order Clarifying August 20, 2007

Order Denying Motion to Withdraw

the Reference

THE ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOP OF

SAN DIEGO, a corporation sole,

Debtor.

JACOB OLIVAS, an individual; PATRICK

OLIVAS, an individual,

Plaintiffs,

v.

DIOCESE OF SAN DIEGO EDUCATION

AND WELFARE CORPORATION, et al.,

Defendants.

Evidence of public record makes it apparent the Debtor has misconstrued the Court’s

August 20, 2007 Order. See Sandi Dolbee and Mark Sauer, U.S. Judge Won’t Intervene in

Diocese Case, SAN DIEGO UNION TRIBUNE, August 21, 2007, at B8 (statement by Diocese attorney

Michael Webb that bankruptcy court is blocked from considering remand motions). The Court

hereby clarifies that its August 20, 2007 order denied without prejudice the Debtor’s motion to

withdraw the reference of the adversary actions, as well as the motions to remand set for hearing in

those cases. The Court intends, at the time of the November 26, 2007 hearing, to allow the Debtor

to renew its motion to withdraw the reference. However, in the interim, jurisdiction remains in the

bankruptcy court to take any and all actions necessary for administration of the bankruptcy

proceedings, including but not limited to ruling on the pending motions for remand. Nothing in

this order or in the Court’s August 20, 2007 order shall be construed as an indication that the

bankruptcy court lacks jurisdiction to rule on any matter.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: August 21, 2007
