Determining core status
A proceeding to determine a debtor’s tax liability under section 505(a) is a core bankruptcy proceeding.
In re Altegrity, Inc. · filed 2016-01-14(b)(2)

Somerset Trust Co. v. Mostoller (In re Somerset Reg'l Water Res., LLC) · filed 2018-09-24(b)(2)
Second, this matter is a core proceeding over which the Court has both subject-matter jurisdiction and the requisite statutory authority to enter a final judgment. Indeed, enforcement of the Final DIP Order concerns the administration of this estate inasmuch as the funds to be paid to STC effectively reduces its post-petition claim. It also deals with the enforcement of the Final DIP Order and therefore is a controversy that concerns both an order "in respect to obtaining credit" and the Debtor's use of cash collateral. Furthermore, this controversy is a request for a determination of the validity, extent or priority of liens of STC against the applicable tax refund, and obviously the controversy affects the adjustment of the debtor-creditor relationship. All of these types of matters fall within the core jurisdiction of this Court.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

AY McDonald Industries Inc. v. McDonald · filed 2018-10-03(b)(1)

Section 157(b)(1) treats a claim as a core proceeding when it arises under title 11 or arises in a bankruptcy case and involves rights established by federal bankruptcy law; a contract claim that can arise outside bankruptcy is not core.
AY McDonald Indus., Inc. v. McDonald (In re McDonald) · filed 2018-10-03(b)(1)
A core proceeding is one that arises under title 11 or arises in a case under title 11 and involves rights established by federal bankruptcy law. ... AY's claim for injunctive and declaratory relief is not a core proceeding. ... Nor does it "arise in" title 11, as AY's claim against Debtor can arise outside the context of a bankruptcy proceeding.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

A bankruptcy court acts pursuant to its core jurisdiction when it considers the involuntary release of claims against a third-party, non-debtor in connection with the confirmation of a proposed plan of reorganization, which is a statutorily-defined core proceeding.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Keefe v. Asi Holding Co. · filed 2018-12-10(b)(2)(K)
Thus, section 157(b)(2)(K) cannot apply to charging liens sought by a third party against a creditor of the debtor, after the estate has been administered and the proceeds have been distributed, because such liens can have no conceivable effect on the debtor's estate.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →
Section 157(b)(2)(G) treats a motion for relief from the automatic stay as core, but a separate request to determine mortgage payment obligations is non-core.
In re Thorpe · filed 2019-01-17(b)(2)(G)
The Objection is not a "core" motion for relief from the automatic stay. In effect, the Objection is merely a request for declaratory relief regarding the respective rights of the Debtor and JPMorgan in connection with a secured debt that was not provided for by the plan. The matter may be categorized fairly as non-core, just like the claims in Boltz-Rubinstein.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Section 157(b)(1) covers a post-petition contract dispute as a core proceeding arising in a Title 11 case when resolving it depends on interpreting bankruptcy court orders.
Ass'n v. Franklin Advisers, Inc. · filed 2019-03-26(b)(1)
Although Plaintiffs portray this case as a simple contractual dispute, a proceeding over breach of contract claims can still "arise in" Title 11 and constitute a core bankruptcy proceeding. Such is the case, where, as here, the dispute concerns a post-petition contract the resolution of which depends upon the interpretation of bankruptcy court orders.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Jalbert v. Wessel G m b H · filed 2019-07-25(b)(2)(H)
Specifically, (1) the Trustee’s fraudulent transfer lawsuit is a core proceeding as stipulated in the joint pre-trial order and pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2)(H), (2) withdrawal would not foster a more economical use of the parties’ resources because a bench trial was conducted, a judgment was rendered in the bankruptcy court and this matter is now on appeal before this Court; (3) withdrawing the reference would not expedite the bankruptcy process and (4) the timing of Wessel’s motion raises issues of forum shopping.Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Wyman · filed 2019-08-22(b)(2)(A)
The Court finds that Claim II clearly falls under the core proceedings category because it is premised on Sweet’s potential liability for violating 11 U.S.C. § 704. § 157(b)(2)(A) straightforwardly indicates that core proceedings include “matters concerning the administration of the estate.”Read the full opinion on CourtListener →

Section 157 treats a motion to renew a judgment from a core dischargeability proceeding as a core proceeding when the motion seeks to continue enforcement of that judgment.
Densley v. Dyches · filed 2019-12-13(b)(2)(I)
