ORDER
On October 11, 2013, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Middle
District of Georgia, Valdosta Division, Hubert Moore Lumber Company, Inc. filed
a Voluntary Petition for protection under Chapter 7 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code. Hubert Moore Lumber Company, Inc. filed a suggestion of
bankruptcy in this case on October 11, 2013.
11 U.S.C. § 362(a)(1) provides that all judicial proceedings against the
debtor are automatically stayed. Accordingly, the case is stayed as to Hubert
Moore Lumber Company until there is a ruling from the bankruptcy court lifting
the stay.

The Court would like to hear from the remaining parties as to how they
believe the case should proceed in light of the automatic stay with respect to
Hubert Moore Lumber Company. In particular, the Court is interested in whether
the case should be stayed in its entirety until the bankruptcy matter is resolved.
The parties are to report back to the Court in writing no later than October 25,
2013.
SO ORDERED, this the 17th of October, 2013.
