In re Dienberg

Ruling
Court was not authorized to issue a "comfort order" where stay had terminated pursuant to section 362(h) rather than section 362(c).
Procedural posture

A secured creditor filed a motion pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 362(h) and (j), asking the court to issue an order confirming that the automatic stay in a chapter 7 debtor's bankruptcy case had terminated. The court, on its own initiative, held a hearing on the issue of whether section 362(j) applied when the alleged basis for termination of the stay was found in section 362(h) rather than in section 362(c), the subsection specifically referenced in section 362(j).

In re Ermi

Ruling
Creditor was not entitled to comfort order where debtors failed to timely assume vehicle lease but had not previously filed for bankruptcy.
Procedural posture

Bankruptcy debtors identified their interest in a vehicle lease on their schedules and subsequently amended their schedules to indicate their intention to assume the unexpired lease. A creditor with a security interest in the vehicle moved for a comfort order pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 362(j) confirming that the automatic stay terminated with regard to the vehicle based on the lack of a timely indication of intent and/or assumption of the lease.
