§ 547(e)(1)

In re Whitehead

Ruling
Pre-preference period lis pendens effected a valid transfer of interest in property.
Procedural posture

Creditor filed a motion for relief from the automatic stay. The only substantive legal question was whether an interest of the debtor in certain real property was transferred on the date of recordation of the creditor's notices of lis pendens or on the date of recordation of a judgment lien certificate, inasmuch as the latter event occurred within the preferential look-back period.
