In re Williford

Ruling
Stay terminated in debtor's second case as to debtor and debtor's property but not as to property of the estate.
Procedural posture

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. The court denied the debtor's motion to the extent that it requested a retroactive reinstatement of the automatic stay, but it took under advisement the issue of whether the operation of 11 U.S.C.S. § 362(c)(3) terminated the entire automatic stay.

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.
