Case No. 2:17-cv-01714-RFB-GWF
ORDER

This matter is before the Court on Defendant’s Motion for Stay (ECF No. 21), filed on

14

November 13, 2017. To date, Plaintiff has not filed an opposition to this motion and the time for

15

opposition has now expired.1

16

Defendant represents that on November 9, 2017, United States Bankruptcy Judge Mike K.

17

Nakagawa issued an order reopening Plaintiff’s bankruptcy so that she could amend her schedules to

18

include her instant claims against Defendant. Defendant asserts that a bankruptcy filing triggers an

19

automatic stay under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code and therefore argues that this case should

20

be stayed. See 11 U.S.C.A § 362(a)(3). The Court agrees. Accordingly,

21

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant’s Motion for Stay (ECF No. 21) is granted.

22

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this case is hereby STAYED.

23

DATED this 28th day of November, 2017.
