In connection with the Defendants' Motion to Withdraw the Reference [Adv. Docket No. 42] filed by the Law Office of Rogelio Solis, PLLC and Ana Gomez, the bankruptcy court issued its Report and Recommendation to the United States District Court that Defendants Law Office of Rogellio Solis, PLLC and Ana Gomez's Motion to Withdraw the Reference be Granted [Adv. Docket No. 56] recommending that this Court withdraw the reference as to Adversary Proceeding Number 21-07002, but only after the Bankruptcy Court has certified that all pretrial and dispositive matters have concluded and the Adversary Proceeding is ready for trial.
The Court finds that the Bankruptcy Court's recommendation is well founded and should be adopted. It is therefore, ORDERED that the Bankruptcy Court's report and recommendation is hereby adopted. It is further
ORDERED that the reference will be withdrawn as to Adversary Proceeding Number 2107002 upon the Bankruptcy Court's certification that it is ready for trial. And it is further
ORDERED that the Bankruptcy Court is authorized to hear, adjudicate, and otherwise resolve all pretrial matters, including all dispositive motions, provided, however, that for any matter the resolution of which would result in the issuance of a final order or other such order as would be subject to immediate appeal as a matter of right, the Bankruptcy Court may hear such matter, but shall submit proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law to the Court, and any final order or judgement shall be entered by the Court.
