#1.00 Motion for relief from stay

CENTEX HOMES VS DEBTOR

Property: Riverside Superior Court Docket Number RIC168397[Non Bk Forum] Nathan Owens, attorney/movant

494Docket

1/26/2017:

None.

Final Ruling. This motion for relief from the automatic stay has been set for hearing on regular notice pursuant to Rule 9013-1(d)(2) of the Local Bankruptcy Rules. Pursuant to Rule 9013-1(h), the failure of the trustee, the debtor and other parties in interest to file written opposition at least fourteen days prior to the hearing is construed as consent to the granting of the motion. Cf. Ghazali v. Moran, 46 F.3d 52, 53 (9th Cir. 1995). Furthermore, because the court is granting the relief requested by the moving party and for which a prima facie case has been established, an actual hearing is not necessary. See Boone v. Burk (In re Eliapo), 468 F.3d 592, 602 (9th Cir. 2006). Parties who have been properly served with the motion are considered in default and, as a consequence, the matter will be resolved without oral argument. SeeRule 9013-1(j)(3). No appearance is necessary.

For the reasons set forth in the motion, the Court hereby finds that sufficient grounds exist to grant the motion pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 362(d)(1) with the following relief:

(1) Termination of the stay solely to pursue insurance proceeds.

(2) The order shall be binding and effective despite any conversion of this

14Docket

1/26/2017:

None.


The motion requests relief from the automatic stay to complete an eviction. Using a bankruptcy case to delay an eviction is not appropriate. See, e.g., In re Smith, 105 B.R. 50, 53 & 55 (Bankr. C.D. Cal. 1989) (describing cases filed to delay an eviction as “abusive” and designed to “delay improperly the landlord from obtaining possession of his property.”). Accordingly, for this reason and the reasons set forth in the motion, the Court hereby finds that sufficient grounds exist to grant the motion pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §§ 362(d)(1) and 362(d)(2) with the following relief:
