ORDER

The Court has reviewed the Defendant’s supplement to the notice of removal. Doc.

22. The Court finds jurisdiction to have been alleged and will take no further action

regarding jurisdiction without prejudice to Plaintiffs raising any jurisdictional issue they

deem appropriate.

reinstated. Doc. 21. Generally, the automatic stay provisions of the bankruptcy code do not

apply to proceedings initiated by the debtor, as is the case here. See Martin-Trigona v.

894, 897 (Bkrtcy. Or., 1984).1
