WILLIAM PAUL BURCH, Plaintiff, v. BANK OF AMERICA, NA, Defendant.
ORDER ACCEPTING FINDINGS , CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Before the Court are the Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge (ECF No. 15), filed May 21, 2020, and Plaintiff's Reply ("Objections") (ECF No. 16), filed May 24, 2020. After reviewing all relevant matters of record in this case, including the Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge and Plaintiff's Objections, in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), the undersigned District Judge believes that the Findings and Conclusions of the Magistrate Judge are correct, and they are ACCEPTED as the Findings and Conclusions of the Court.
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 alter the Magistrate Judge's findings 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).
Having conducted a de novo review of all relevant matters of record in this case and 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 Accordingly, this matter is WITHDRAWN from the United States Magistrate Judge Hal R. Ray, Jr.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 2nd day of June, 2020.
