From Bankrate:

Another action that some experts describe as rare is to withdraw the reference. This also costs $150.

"The district court has jurisdiction of all bankruptcy cases," says Diane S. Robl, Esq., clerk of United States Bankruptcy Court, Western District of Kentucky. "They have referred those cases to a bankruptcy court.

"In cases that involve issues that are not addressed in bankruptcy, the parties -- either debtor or creditor -- may request the district court to withdraw the reference to the bankruptcy court so the district court can hear all matters, even those not addressed in bankruptcy."
