Furthermore, under § 157(b)(2)(B) Plaintiff’s suit amounts to a secured claim against the estate.

Cardinal Industries, Inc. v. Buckeye Federal Savings & Loan Ass'n · filed 1989-09-28(b)(2)

In determining the procedure for the entry of the final order in this matter, the Court notes that there is no subsection of 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2) which expressly reflects these matters.

A debtor’s tax refund claim for a money judgment is not a core proceeding merely because the claimant is in Chapter 11; absent consent, the bankruptcy court handles it under § 157(c)(1).

Murray Industries, Inc. v. United States, Department of Treasury, Internal Revenue Service (In re Murray Industries, Inc · filed 1989-09-29(b)(2)(O)

The only connection of the claim asserted is that the taxpayer who seeks a refund is a Chapter 11 debtor.

For this reason, it can only be handled by this Court within the limitations set forth in 28 U.S.C. § 157(c)(1) unless there is a consent by the Government to the entry of a dispos-itive final judgment subject only to review under 28 U.S.C. § 158.

Woodard v. Sanders (In Re SPI Communications & Marketing, Inc.) · filed 1990-03-09(b)(2)

James A. LATHAM, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A., Et Al., Defendants-Appellees · filed 1990-03-23(b)(1)
