WILLIAM PAUL BURCH, Plaintiff, v. BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., Defendant.


ORDER ACCEPTING FINDINGS , CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE

Before the Court is the Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge (ECF No. 14), filed January 1, 2020, Plaintiff William Paul Burch's ("Plaintiff") 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) Response and Objections thereto (ECF No. 15), filed January 12, 2020, Defendant Bank of America, N.A.'s ("Defendant") Response (ECF No. 20), filed January 22, 2020, and Plaintiff's Reply (ECF No. 24), filed February 9, 2020.

Plaintiff has filed objections to the Magistrate Judge's Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendation, which the Court has liberally construed in light of Plaintiff's pro se status. Following a de novo review, the Court OVERRULES the Objections, as none of the Objections alters the Magistrate Judge's finding and conclusion that this case is a core proceeding arising under Title 11 or arising in a case under Title 11, or, alternatively, "relates to" a bankruptcy proceeding, and, therefore, should be referred to United States Bankruptcy Judge Mark X. Mullin pursuant to the Court's Miscellaneous Order No. 33. See 28 U.S.C. § 157(a), (c).

After conducting a de novo review of all relevant matters of record in this case and the applicable law, the Court determines that the Findings and Conclusions of the Magistrate Judge are correct, and they are ACCEPTED as the Findings and Conclusions of the Court. Accordingly, this matter is WITHDRAWN from United States Magistrate Judge Hal R. Ray, Jr. and REFERRED to United States Bankruptcy Judge Mark X. Mullin pursuant to this Court's Miscellaneous Order No. 33.

SO ORDERED on this 13th day of May, 2020.
