Savoy Senior Housing Corp. v. TRBC Ministries LLC

Plaintiff housing developers sued defendant church company in state court, alleging several causes of action arising from their partnership to develop senior housing. After removing the action to federal district court, the company moved to dismiss the complaint for lack of jurisdiction or improper venue pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. p. 12(b)(1) and (3), or to refer the case to the bankruptcy court that had confirmed the partnership's chapter 11 plan.
