Montana BWB, LLC v. Rogers, Case No. 22SMCV00151
Hearing Date July 14, 2022 (continued from June 24, 2022)
Motion to Continue Trial Date Pending Conclusion of Bankruptcy (UNOPPOSED)


Defendant states that contrary to plaintiffs prior representation to this court, his chapter 7 federal bankruptcy case is still pending, and the automatic stay is still in place. Defendant seeks to continue trial pending the conclusion of his bankruptcy. Defendant supports his claim with a declaration and a notice from the United States Bankruptcy Court stating that a creditors meeting in his case is scheduled for July 7, 2022.
See
declaration filed 6/1/2022, exhibit 1. Considering this evidence, and the absence of any opposition, defendant has adequately proved that the bankruptcy is still not concluded, so the automatic stay remains in place. GRANTED. The court will schedule a status conference in six months
