Lot designated "4-10" in Block numbered Seven (7) of Unit numbered One (1) of EL RANCHO GRANDE, located in the West Half (W1/2) of Section Twenty-six (26), Township Eight (8) North, Range Eight (8) East, N.M.P.M., Torrance County, New Mexico, as designated and set forth in that certain Vacation of a Portion of El Rancho Grande being Lots 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10, Block 7, Unit 1 dated October 21, 2013, filed for record on November 27, 2013 at 9:55 o'clock, A.M., as document number 2133299, and recorded in Book 329, Page 3766, Reocrds of Torrance County, New Mexico.
3. The Notice specified an objection deadline of twenty-one (21) days from the date of service of the Notice, to which 3 days was added under Bankruptcy Rule 9006(f);
4. The Notice was sufficient in form and content;
5. The objection deadline expired on January 16, 2020;
6. As of February 3, 2020, neither Debtor(s) nor Trustee, nor any other party in interest, filed an objection to the Motion;
7. The Motion is well taken and should be granted as provided herein; and
8. By submitting this Order to the Court for entry, the undersigned counsel for Movant certifies under penalty of perjury that, on February 3, 2020, Patricia Rychards of Weinstein & Riley, P.S. searched the data banks of the Department of Defense Manpower Data Center ("DMDC") and found that DMDC does not possess any information indicating that Debtor(s) is/are currently on active military duty of the United States.
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 are 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(s) is/are a party, to the extent permitted by applicable non-bankruptcy law, such as by commencing or proceeding with appropriate action against Debtor(s) 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. 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, Movant need not name Trustee as a defendant in any state court action it may pursue to foreclose liens against the Property and need not notify 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 Debtor(s), although Debtor(s) can be named as a defendant\defendants in litigation to obtain an in rem judgment or to repossess the Property in accordance with applicable non-bankruptcy law.
4. This Order does not waive Movant's claim against the estate for any deficiency owed by Debtor(s) after any foreclosure sale or other disposition of the Property. Movant may file an amended proof of claim for this bankruptcy case within 30 days after a foreclosure sale of the Property should it claim that Debtor(s) owe(s) 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. Movant is further granted relief from the stay to engage in loan modification discussions or negotiations or other settlement discussions with Debtor(s) and to enter into a loan modification with Debtor(s).
IT IS ORDERED.
