Omoto v. Ruggera (In Re Omoto)
United States Bankruptcy Appellate Panel for the Ninth Circuit
1Opinion of the Court
OPINION
MEYERS, Bankruptcy Judge:
I
Appellant Debtor Iwao Omoto appeals from an order granting relief from stay to validate a foreclosure sale. The foreclosing creditor, Neil Ruggera, did so despite the Debtor’s third Chapter 13 filing the day before. The trial court issued its order after the Debtor’s fourth filing, finding that Omoto had filed in bad faith. The Court declared the foreclosure sale valid and lifted the automatic stay nunc pro tunc. We dismiss the case as moot and impose sanctions against Omoto and his attorney.
