MICHAEL, Bankruptcy Judge.
Mick Chapel and Jennifer Chapel (the “Chapels”) and their attorney, Joseph Manges (“Manges”), cross-appeal 1 an order of the bankruptcy court finding that they violated the automatic stay and awarding compensatory and punitive damages to debtor David Brian Derringer (“Derringer”) in the total amount of $903. The sole issue presented to this Court is whether the bankruptcy court abused its discretion when it found that a violation of the automatic stay had taken place in this case. Finding no reversible error, we affirm. 2
