DISTRICT COURT CASE 

NO. CIV-F-06-00675 AWI

BANKRUPTCY COURT CASE

NO. 05-10002-A7

MEMORANDUM OPINION AND

ORDER DENYING APPELLANTS

JOE FLORES AND CONNIE

FLORES’ APPEAL OF

BANKRUPTCY COURT’S DENIAL

OF MOTION FOR RELIEF FROM

AUTOMATIC STAY 

This case comes before this Court on appeal from the bankruptcy court’s denial of pro se

appellants Joe and Connie Flores’ (“Appellants” or the “Floreses”) motion for relief from the

automatic stay to bring a motion to add judgment debtors in the case Joe Flores, et al. v. DDJ,

Inc., et al., case no. CIV-F-99-5878. While the Floreses appeal was under submission in this

Court, it appears that the bankruptcy court granted a separate motion brought by the Floreses for

relief from the automatic stay on August 9, 2007. The relief sought by the Floreses in that

motion, relief from the automatic stay to bring a motion to add judgment debtors in case no. CIVF-99-5878, is the same relief sought by the Floreses on appeal. Accordingly, because the

bankruptcy court granted the Floreses the relief they sought on appeal, the Floreses appeal in this

Court is moot. This Court need not decide the issues raised by the parties briefs, particularly

whether the claims asserted by the Floreses are property of the bankruptcy estate. 

For the reasons stated in the above Memorandum Opinion, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED

that Appellants Joe and Connie Flores’ appeal from the bankruptcy court’s denial of their motion

for relief from the automatic stay is DENIED as moot.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
