ORDER

The plaintiffs, Jose Francisco Salvador and Jason Robert Lewis, each filed proofs of claim asserting unliquidated personal injury claims against the defendant-debtors in their bankruptcy action, In re Cashman Corp., 17-bk-12205. The defendant-debtors seek to withdraw the reference of the plaintiffs' claims to the bankruptcy court. Because the bankruptcy court may not try personal injury tort claims, see 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(5), the defendant-debtors' unopposed Motion to Withdraw Reference (dkt. no. 1) is GRANTED.

The defendant-debtors' request that the Court transfer the claims and their objections to them to the District Court for the Western District of Louisiana is also GRANTED.

It is SO ORDERED.
