ORDER RECOGNIZING BANKRUPTCY STAY AS TO DEBTOR-DEFENDANT
On May 21, 2012, the court was notified that defendant GMAC Mortgage, LLC filed a Chapter 11 petition with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. The Bankruptcy Code imposes an automatic stay as to the debtor-defendant, to protect such debtor from a judicial action to recover a claim against it that arose before the commencement of the bankruptcy case. 11 U.S.C. § 362(a).
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the bankruptcy stay prevents further prosecution of the above-captioned case against defendant GMAC Mortgage, LLC only.
