Dear Judge Farnan:
Defendants regret the need to burden the Court with additional correspondence
with respect to this Adversary Proceeding. Local Rule 501 1-1 of the Bankruptcy Court requires
a party tiling a motion to withdraw the reference to move the Bankruptcy Court to determine
whether the action is a core or non·~core proceeding, This Rule is a recognition of the mandate in
28 USC. § l57(d)(3) that a Bankruptcy Judge make an initial determination of "whethe1· a
proceeding is a core proceeding? Such determination is a prerequisite to submission of the
motion to withdraw the reference to the District Court.] Accordingly, Defendants submitted a
request for oral argument within three days of the Bankruptcy Court’s order determining this
action a core proceeding, which, under the circumstances here, was timely.
Respectfully submitted,
tr to ’ t d /

that before withdrawal oi` relerence motion is presented to District Court, Bankruptcy Court must make
determination of whether proceedings are core or r1on—core)
