Text: 9 Judge Dorsey recognized that the designation of an action as core does not control whether or not the action may be tried before a jury. Germain v. Connecticut Nat'l Bank, 112 B.R. 57, 59 (D.Conn.1990). 3 The right to a jury trial is of constitutional concern. Neither Congress nor the courts may deprive litigants of their constitutional rights simply by labeling a cause of action core. See Granfinanciera, S.A. v. Nordberg, 492 U.S. 33, 61, 109 S.Ct. 2782, 2800, 106 L.Ed.2d 26 (1989). Thus the determination that the Trustee's action is core is entitled to minimal weight in reaching our ultimate decision on the jury trial issue. 4
