1Opinion of the Court

WESLEY W. STEEN, Bankruptcy Judge.

REASONS FOR JUDGMENT

Mercantile Texas Credit Corporation (“Mercantile”) filed this motion for relief from the stay, asserting an assignment of the Debtor’s pre-petition accounts receivable. The Court has determined to deny the motion for relief from the stay on the grounds that Mercantile’s security interest is invalid and not effective against third parties under Louisiana law. The assignment of accounts receivable is invalid because Mercantile failed to file a proper Statement of Assignment of Accounts Receivable as required by La.R.S. 9:3103.
