In re Jefferson County

Ruling
Stay applied to reinsurer's action against underwriters with cross claims against debtor county.
Procedural posture

An insurer of warrants for sewer system improvements issued by a bankruptcy debtor which was a county brought an action in state court against the debtor and underwriters of the warrants based on fraud, and a reinsurer of the warrants brought a virtually identical action against the underwriters which asserted cross-claims against the debtor. The reinsurer moved for a determination that the automatic bankruptcy stay did not apply to its action.
