(a). On January 31, 2012, then-Chief Judge Loretta A. Preska issued an “Amended Standing Order of Reference,” providing that “any or all cases under title 11 and any or all proceedings . .

. related to a case under title 11 are referred to the bankruptcy judges for this district.” Amended Standing Order of Reference, In re Standing Order of Reference Re: Title 11,

, M- 431 (S.D.N.Y. Jan. 31, 2012).! The Court has received joint letters from counsel in the above eight captioned cases, in which counsel request and consent to have the above cases reassigned to U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Cecilia G. Morris of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for this District. Counsel state the above cases are related to a pending bankruptcy case before Judge Morris—In re William F. Nicklin, 19-35092 (S.D.N.Y. Bankr.) (CGM) (filed Jan. 18, 2019)—and thus should be reassigned. The Court agrees. An action is related to a pending bankruptcy case if “the outcome [of the instant action] could alter the debtor’s rights, liabilities, options, or freedom of action,” and affect “the handling and administration of the bankrupt estate.” Gisinger v. Patriach,

, at *3 (S.D.N.Y. Oct. 18, 2016). Put another way, an action is related to a pending bankruptcy case when the outcome of the instant action might have a “conceivable effect” on the debtor’s estate. In re Cuyahoga Equip. Corp.,

, 114 (2d Cir, 1992). The above eight captioned matters comprise lawsuits in which the trustee of a debtor’s estate seeks—for the benefit of the debtor’s estate—to claw back numerous conveyances from the debtor to the defendants. Accordingly, the outcomes of the above cases will have a conceivable effect on the debtor’s estate, and therefore relate to the pending bankruptcy proceeding. For the reasons above, it is HEREBY ORDERED: Pursuant to

(a) and the Court’s Amended Standing Order of Reference, the Clerk is directed to REASSIGN the above eight captioned cases to U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Cecilia M. Morris, as related to In re William F. Nicklin, 19-35092 (S.D.N.Y. Bankr.) (filed Jan. 18, 2019). Dated: February 14, 2020 White Plains, NY SO ORDERED; WJ

Vincent L, Briccetti United States District Judge
