IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA

Richmond Division

LYNN L. TAVENNER,

Trustee,

V. Civil Action No. 3:17cv502

JUSTIN SIGLER,

Movant

MEMORANDUM OPINION

This matter comes before the Court on the Motion to Withdraw the Reference filed by

Justin Sigler. (ECF No. 1.) Sigler moves to withdraw the two-count adversary complaint

initiated by Trustee Lynn Tavenner (the "Trustee") in the underlying bankruptcy action. The

Trustee opposes the withdrawal. The Court exercises jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C.

§ 157(d).'

The parties fully briefed the matter in the Bankruptcy Court, and the Court dispenses with

oral argument because the materials before it adequately present the facts and legal contentions,

and argument would not aid the decisional process. The matter is ripe for disposition. For the

reasons that follow, the Court will deny the Motion to Withdraw the Reference and remand this

matter to the Bankruptcy Court.

' Section 157(d) provides, inrelevant part, that "[t]he district court may withdraw, in

whole or in part, any case or proceeding referred under this section, on its own motion or on

timely motion of any party, for cause shown." 28 U.S.C. § 157(d).
