9th Cir. B.A.P.;
14-1052
The Bankruptcy Appellate Panel dismissed an appeal from a bankruptcy court order terminating the automatic stay and reversed the bankruptcy court’s grant of in rem relief. The court held that a former debtor’s appeal of an order terminating the automatic stay was moot where she had since obtained discharge. The court held further that a party who claimed ownership over the debtor’s foreclosed residence was ineligible for extraordinary relief from the automatic stay under Bankruptcy Code §362(d)(4) where he sought relief not as a secured creditor, but as the putative owner of real property claimed by the debtor.
