Edward R. Foss and Dana Foss (“the Fosses”) who are

Plaintiffs and Cross-Defendants in the above captioned

consolidated adversary proceedings currently pending in the

Debtors’ bankruptcy case, have moved to withdraw the reference of

those proceedings to the Bankruptcy Court on grounds, inter alia,

that they declined to consent to have the matter heard before the

Bankruptcy Court, that they further refused to waive their right

to a jury trial, and that the Bankruptcy Court has determined the

matter, in part, to be a non-core proceeding. As a non-core

proceeding, the Fosses cite Ninth Circuit precedent in

maintaining that it would be an abuse of a discretion for this

Court not to grant their withdrawal motion. In re Cinematronics,

Inc., 916 F.2d 1444, 1451 (9th Cir. 1990).

 Because oral argument will not be of material assistance, 1

the Court orders this matter submitted on the briefs. E.D. Cal.

Local Rule 230(g)

3

No opposition has been filed to the Fosses’ Motion. Given

that non-opposition, and good cause appearing therefor, the

instant Motion (Docket No. 1) is accordingly GRANTED. The 1

referral of the adversary proceedings to Bankruptcy Court is

hereby withdrawn. The Bankruptcy Court shall conduct no further

hearings, or make any additional rulings, orders, or findings,

with respect to the subject adversary proceedings. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 5, 2010
