UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA
DENNIS BLANCHARD ET AL.
CIVIL ACTION
VERSUS
No. 13-220
SALVADOR LEE ET AL.
SECTION I
ORDER
Before the Court is an ex parte motion1 filed by defendant, Salvador Lee (“Lee”), for an
automatic stay pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 362. Although the accompanying memorandum could be
construed to broadly request a stay of the entire case, including all claims against Lee’s codefendants, the Court does not construe Lee’s request to extend this far. Moreover, there is no
allegation that this is one of the “unusual situations” in which “proceedings against [non-bankrupt
co-defendants] could have a significant impact on the bankrupt.” Greenfield Comm’l Credit, L.L.C.
v. Catlettsburg Refining, L.L.C., No. 03-3391, 2013 WL 3211747, at *2 (E.D. La. Oct. 19, 2005)
(Duval, J.) (quotations omitted).
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that the motion is GRANTED and that all proceedings as to Lee are
hereby STAYED and ADMINISTRATIVELY CLOSED, to be reopened upon a motion filed by
any party within 30 days of a change of circumstances.

R. Doc. No. 171.

file a motion requesting such relief on or before Monday, October 21, 2013.
