Sanchez, a parcel of land containing two tracts lying within and being a portion of the Santa Cruz Grant in projected Section 35, Township 21 North Range 8 East, N.M.P.M. vicinity of Fairview (City of Espanola), County of Rio Arriba, State of New Mexico," filed on November 21, 2007 in Plat Book L1, Page 41, records of Rio Arriba County, New Mexico.

(f) No other party in interest filed an objection to the Motion;

(g) The Motion is well taken and was granted at the hearing held on January 3, 2019; and

(h) By submitting this Order to the Court for entry, the undersigned counsel for Creditor certifies under penalty of perjury that, on the date this Order was presented Rose L. Brand & Associates, P.C. searched the data banks of the Department of Defense Manpower Data Center ("DMDC"), and found that the DMDC does not possess any information indicating that the Debtor is currently on active military duty of the United States.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED:

1. Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §362(d), Creditor and any and all holders of liens against the Property, of any lien priority, are hereby are granted relief from the automatic stay:

(a) To enforce its rights in the Property, including foreclosure of liens and a foreclosure sale, under the terms of any prepetition notes, mortgages, security agreements, and/or other agreements to which Debtor is a party, to the extent permitted by applicable non-bankruptcy law, such as by commencing or proceeding with appropriate action against the Debtor or the Property, or both, in any court of competent jurisdiction; and

(b) To exercise any other right or remedy available to it under law or equity with respect to the Property.

2. The Trustee is deemed to have abandoned the Property from the estate pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §554 as of the date of entry of this Order, and the Property therefore no longer is property of the estate. As a result, Creditor need not name the Trustee as a defendant in any state court action it may pursue to foreclosure liens against the Property and need not notify the Trustee of any sale of the Property.

3. The automatic stay is not modified to permit any act to collect any deficiency or other obligation as a personal liability of the Debtor, in the event that a discharge order is entered. The Debtor can be named as a defendant in litigation to obtain judgment or to repossess the Property in accordance with applicable non-bankruptcy law, pursuant to any discharge order entered.

4. This Order does not waive Creditor's claim against the estate for any deficiency owed by the Debtor after any foreclosure sale or other disposition of the Property. Creditor may filed an amended proof of claim this bankruptcy case within thirty (30) days after a foreclosure sale of the Property, should it claim that Debtor owe any amount after the sale of the Property.

5. This Order shall continue in full force and effect if this case is dismissed or converted to a case under another chapter of the Bankruptcy Code.

6. This order is effective and enforceable upon entry. The 14-day stay requirement of Fed.R.Bankr.P. 4001(a)(3) is waived.

7. Creditor is further granted relief from the stay to engage in loan modification discussions or negotiations or other settlement discussions with the Debtor and to enter into a loan modification with the Debtor.
