CIVIL ACTION NO. 11-0231-KD-N

ORDER
This action is before the Court on the Notice of Bankruptcy Filing filed by Defendants
Friday Construction Company, Inc. (Friday) and C. Thurmon Bell (Bell). (Doc. 15). As set
forth in the Court’s October 17, 2011 Order, “based on the information before the Court, the
automatic stay pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 362 may not operate as a stay of this litigation as to
Friday.” (Doc. 16). As such, the Court ordered Defendant Friday Construction Company, Inc.
“to provide the Court with authority to support its position that Bell’s individual Chapter 11
bankruptcy petition requires a stay of this action” on or before October 31, 2011. (Id.) To date,
Defendant Friday has failed to file any response to the Court’s Order. Accordingly, in light of
this failure to provide the Court with any authority to supports a request for a stay, it is
ORDERED that Defendant Friday Construction Company, Inc.’s request, as contained in the
Notice of Bankruptcy Filing (Doc. 15), is DENIED.
DONE and ORDERED this 2nd day of November 2011.
