The debtor filed a motion to extend the automatic stay, and the creditor filed a motion to confirm termination of the stay as to certain real property.

Edwards v. THR Georgia LLC (In re Edwards)

Ruling
Reimposition of stay denied where foreclosure debtor sought to set aside had previously been validated.
Procedural posture

Debtor filed a petition under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code and asked the court to extend the automatic stay until an adversary proceeding she filed pro se was resolved. The debtor argued that reimposition of the stay was appropriate because the requirements of O.C.G.A. § 44- 14-162.2 were not met when notice of an impending foreclosure was provided to her. 11 U.S.C.S. § 362(c)(3)(B) applied to her motion.
