Ruling
Mechanic's lien perfected and enforced by judicial process was not transformed into an avoidable judicial lien.
Procedural posture
A judgment was entered in state court against a bankruptcy debtor which enforced a creditor's mechanic's lien against the debtor's property. After the debtor's case was closed and the debtor's property was sold at a foreclosure sale, the debtor moved to avoid the creditor's judicial lien under 11 U.S.C.S. § 522(f)(1)(A) as impairing the debtor's exemption in the property.
