Ruling
Relief from stay to foreclose on mechanic's lien that arose during chapter 13 case that was later converted denied.
Procedural posture

Debtors filed a petition under Chapter 13 of the Bankruptcy Code, and while their case was pending under Chapter 13, a construction company filed a motion for relief under 11 U.S.C.S. § 362(d) from the automatic stay so it could foreclose a mechanic's lien. The debtors converted their case to one under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code and the construction company filed an amended motion for relief from the stay. The debtors opposed the motion.
