See In re Sanders, Bankr. Pet. No. 12-20174 (Bankr. W.D. Pa.). Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 362, the claims against Defendants are STAYED, and this case is ADMINISTRATIVELY CLOSED. Lehman v. Revolution Portfolio L.L.C., 166 F.3d 389, 392 & n.3 (1st Cir. 1999) ("[w]e endorse the judicious use of administrative closings by district courts . . . . to await the lifting of the automatic stay imposed by the Bankruptcy Code"); accord Penn West Assocs., Inc. v. Cohen, 371 F.3d 118, 128 (3d Cir. 2004) (citing with approval rationale in Lehman).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
