WILLIAM PAUL BURCH, et al., Plaintiffs, v. FREEDOM MORTGAGE CORPORATION, et al., Defendants.
ORDER ACCEPTING FINDINGS , CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATION OF THE UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
After conducting a de novo review of all relevant matters of record in this case, including the Findings, Conclusions, and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge (ECF No. 45), filed July 2, 2019, and Plaintiff's Objections thereto (ECF No. 46), filed July 9, 2019, in accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1), 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.
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 this Court's Miscellaneous Order No. 33. See 28 U.S.C. §§ 157(a), 157(c). --------
Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the Motion to Invoke the Bankruptcy Reference (ECF No. 43) is GRANTED. The case is WITHDRAWN from United States Magistrate Judge Hal R. Ray, Jr.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 10th day of July, 2019.
