Federal District Courts §1.4 The jurisdictional provisions in the Bankruptcy Amendments and Federal Judgeship Act of 1984 (the 1984 amendments) resolved a constitutional problem (see Northern Pipeline Constr Co v Marathon Pipe Line Co, 458 US 50 (1982)) with the status of bankruptcy judges. These provisions, which are contained in 28 USC 1334, grant to federal district judges the power to administer bankruptcy cases and all civil proceedings connected to them. Thus, the district court is granted original and exclusive jurisdiction over all bankruptcy cases. 28 USC 1334(a). The district court is also granted original, but not exclusive, jurisdiction over all civil proceedings “arising under,” “arising in,” or “related to” bankruptcy cases. 28 USC 1334(b). However, the district court may abstain from deciding these civil proceedings “in the interest of justice, or in the interest of comity with State courts or respect for State law.” 28 USC 1334(c)(1). Finally, the district court is granted exclusive jurisdiction over all property of the debtor and property of the estate, wherever that property is located. 28 USC 1334(e).
