Opinion
No. CV 09-1807-PHX-JAT.
October 21, 2009
ORDER
Pending before the Court is Defendants' request for clarification (Doc. #16). Defendants ask the Court to tell them whether this case is stayed because, prior to filing this case, Plaintiff filed for bankruptcy. A Plaintiff filing bankruptcy does not trigger the automatic stay provisions of the bankruptcy rules. See Martin-Trigona v. Champion Federal Savings Loan, 1988 WL 46596, *2 (N.D. Ill. 1988). Thus, the Court will not automatically stay this case. This order is without prejudice to either party moving to stay the case if cause can be shown or moving to dismiss the case if appropriate. See Suniga v. America's Servicing Company, 2009 WL 2358973 (D. Ariz. 2009).
Therefore,
IT IS ORDERED that the request for clarification (Doc. # 16) is granted to the limited extent that the Court advises the parties that this case is not stayed.
