Bankruptcy Court Motion Response

Summary

In bankruptcy cases, if a trustee files a motion to dismiss, you can request it be without prejudice, allowing for refiling. File responses with the court and serve opposing counsel. If a motion for reconsideration is denied, you have 14 days to appeal using Form 417A. For fee waivers in Chapter 13, use Form B 3B. To have an appeal heard in District Court, check the appropriate box on Form 417A. Address fraud claims in your appeal brief, not the Notice of Appeal. To stay eviction execution, file a motion and confirm its status with the court where it was filed.

The court has denied your motion for adversary proceeding, evidentiary hearing, and preliminary injunction to reinstate the automatic stay.

I am an automatic stay right now. the judge just allowed one socalled creditor to lift the stay.
An automatic stay in bankruptcy usually halts most collection activities against you. If a creditor has been allowed to lift the stay, they can proceed with collection actions.
Key Points:
- Automatic Stay: Temporarily stops creditors from collecting debts from you.
- Lift of Stay: The court allows specific creditor actions to proceed despite the stay.
Steps to Address the Lift of Stay:
*. Review the Court Order: Understand the reasons the stay was lifted.
*. Appeal the Decision: If you believe the stay was lifted in error, you can file an appeal.
*. File a Motion for Reconsideration: Request the court to reconsider its decision.
Do you need guidance on how to appeal the lift of stay or file a motion for reconsideration?
I have already filed a reconsideration that was denied. I have a judgement in the state court that was based on an invlaid foreclsoure deed that the oposing counsel filed. The oposing counsel filed the same invaluid deed into bankruptcy court which the judge used as a coloable claim and lifted my stay.
It sounds like you have a complex situation involving both state and bankruptcy court rulings. Here are a few key steps you might consider:
- Appeal the Bankruptcy Court's Decision: Since your reconsideration was denied, you can appeal the decision to lift the stay.
- Challenge the Validity of the Foreclosure Deed: If you haven't already, you might need to challenge the validity of the foreclosure deed in both state and bankruptcy court.
