Order granting the plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment to the extent that it objected to the court’s jurisdiction. The plaintiff and the defendant sought a determination of their relative interests in legal fees awarded to the debtor. The court held that it did not have jurisdiction because the proceeding was not “related to” the bankruptcy case. The property was not property of estate and it was highly unlikely that resolution of the dispute would impact the estate.
