CARY, Bankruptcy Judge.
This appeal is part of a 22 year-long effort by creditor David Ross to recover a multimillion dollar personal injury award against debtor, Paul Garcia. Ross’ collection efforts have thus far been thwarted by the debtor’s bankruptcy. This appeal addresses Ross’ challenge of two orders of the bankruptcy court: (1) the order denying his motion to vacate the order permitting the debtor to amend Schedule A; and (2) the order allowing the debtor’s amended motion to partially avoid Ross’ lien (collectively “the Orders”). For the reasons discussed below, we AFFIRM the Orders.
