   Bankruptcy Withdrawal | California Central

   Proceed In Forma Pauperis

   MINUTES (IN CHAMBERS) by Judge Mark C. Scarsi: ORDER DENYING REQUEST FOR EMERGENCY RELIEF, DENYING APPLICATION TO PROCEED IN FORMA PAUPERIS, AND SETTING BRIEFING SCHEDULE ON MOTION FOR WITHDRAWAL OF REFERENCE 1 , 2 . To the extent Movant's filing may be construed as a request for preliminary injunctive relief, the request is denied. The Court also denies the request for emergency relief on the merits. In her instant motion, Movant raises no new arguments relating to her risk of irreparable harm that the Court has not already considered and rejected. Therefore, to the extent Movant seeks the same preliminary injunctive relief in her latest filing, the motion is denied. Movant filed an application to proceed in district court without prepayment of fees or costs. Movant did not hand-sign the application, so the application must be denied because it is not made under penalty of perjury. Movant shall submit the filing fee or a renewed application signed under penalty of perjury within 14 days after entry of this Order. Assuming Movant can cure the deficiencies in her in forma pauperisapplication, the Court, on its own motion, sets a hearing on the merits of Movant's motion to withdraw reference to the Bankruptcy Court on September 14, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. in Courtroom 7C of the Felicitas and Gonzalo Mendez United States Courthouse located at 350 W. 1st Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012. Respondents shall file a response to the motion on or before August 24, 2026, with Movant to file an optional reply on or by August 31, 2026. The Court recognizes that the Bankruptcy Court is currently considering whether to remand the underlying adversary proceeding to the Circuit Court for Baltimore City, Maryland. While the pendency of the instant withdrawal motion does not divest the Bankruptcy Court of the authority to remand the adversary proceeding, see Fed. R. Bankr. P. 5011(c), a remand of the underlying adversary proceeding would likely moot the withdrawal motion. If the Bankruptcy Court remands the adversary proceeding, the parties shall file a joint status report within five days notifying the Court of that remand and advising the Court of the parties positions as to whether that remand moots this motion.
