Color Craft Press, Ltd. v. Nationwide Shopper Sys., Inc (In re Color Craft Press, Ltd.)
APPEAL
27 B.R. 962 (D.Utah)
See 66.pdf and 67.pdf
On appeal from the bankruptcy court's dismissal orders in 66.pdf and 67.pdf, the district court ruled that N. Pipeline Constr. Co. v. Marathon Pipe Line Co., 458 U.S. 50 (1982) did not invalidate district court jurisdiction over bankruptcy cases, and that the district court could, by its emergency rule of December 24, 1982, continue using the bankruptcy court system to assist in the exercise of that jurisdiction. Specifically, the district court held that the Supreme Court's invalidation of bankruptcy court jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1471(c) did not invalidate district court jurisdiction over bankruptcy matters under § 1471(a), as those provisions are severable and, in addition, the Marathon decision did not in any way indicate that district court jurisdiction was affected.
