particular proceeding referred under this order and determined to be a core matter, the bankruptcy
judge shall, unless otherwise ordered by the district court, hear the proceeding and submit proposed
findings of fact and conclusions of law to the district court. The district court may treat any order

consistent with Article III of the United States Constitution.
Pursuant to 28 U.S.C Section 157(e), bankruptcy judges are designated to conduct jury trials
