Biggs v. Housing Auth. of Pittsburgh

Ruling
Bankruptcy court erred in lifting stay to allow city housing authority to start eviction proceedings against debtor as debtor was protected from discrimination on account of bankruptcy.
Procedural posture

Appellant debtor appealed the order of the bankruptcy court granting appellee city housing authority's motion for relief from the automatic stay for bankruptcy under 11 U.S.C. § 362, thus permitting the authority to commence eviction proceedings in state court against debtor based upon her previous failure to keep up with her rent payments and to pay accumulated arrearage.
