IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED:

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

(a) To enforce their 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 them under law or equity with respect to the Property.

2. The Property is hereby abandoned pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §554 and is no longer property of the estate. Creditor shall not be required to name the Trustee as a defendant in any action involving the Property or otherwise give the Trustee further notice.

3.

Nothing contained herein shall preclude Creditor or and any and all holders of liens against the Property, from proceeding against the Debtor personally, to collect amounts due, if Debtor's discharge is denied or if Debtor's bankruptcy is dismissed.

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

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

6. Movant 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.
