Order on subject matter jurisdiction of the bankruptcy court to enter a money judgment on behalf of a creditor objecting to the debtor’s discharge pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 727(a)(2)(A) and (B), (a)(4)(A) and (D). The Court found that subject matter jurisdiction was lacking because the plaintiff’s claim had no relevance to the Section 727 causes of action. The Court then found that in the event “related to” jurisdiction did exist, bifurcation of the issues was appropriate. If the plaintiff prevailed on the objection to discharge, the Court would sua sponte lift the stay to allow the related litigation on damages to continue.
