MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
This matter is before this Court on United States Bankruptcy Judge Susan Pierson Sonderby's Recommendation that Plaintiff Xpedior's ("Xpedior") motion for entry of default judgment be granted and that this Court enter judgment in favor of Xpedior and against Defendant CentreCom, Inc. ("CentreCom"). Under 28 U.S.C. § 157 (c)(1), a bankruptcy judge may hear a proceeding that is not a core proceeding but that is otherwise related to a case under Title II. In such proceeding, the bankruptcy judge shall submit proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law to the district court, and any final order or judgment shall be entered by the district judge after considering the bankruptcy judge's proposed findings and conclusions and after reviewing de novo those matters to which any party has timely and specifically objected. Id. Judge Sonderby concluded that she had non-core jurisdiction over this breach of contract claim, and she submitted Proposed Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law. This Court agrees with Judge Sonderby's determination as to the nature of the claim. Therefore, after careful consideration, and as there are no objections, this Court adopts Judge Sonderby's findings and conclusions in their entirety.
Judge Sonderby authorized Xpedior to file its complaint under seal. Thus, Judge Sonderby's order of proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law is under seal and on file with the Clerk of the Court.
