UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

In re:

KATHRYN REYNOLDS,

NO. 2:07-cv-1070-MCE-GGH PS 

Debtor,

KATHRYN REYNOLDS ORDER

Appellant,

v.

JESSICA SWEDELIUS,

Appellee.

_____________________________/

On June 5, 2007, Appellant Kathryn Reynolds (“Appellant”)

filed an action in this Court concerning enforcement of a levy

against some $38,000 held in an escrow account. Appellee Jessica

Swedelius’ attempt to execute against that escrow account

prompted Appellant to move for a temporary restraining order in

Bankruptcy Court, where Appellant claims she obtained a discharge

in Chapter 7 bankruptcy proceedings.

The Bankruptcy Court denied Appellant’s request in that regard,

and Appellant appealed that decision before the Bankruptcy

Appeals Panel (“BAP”). Despite Appellant’s resort to the

auspices of the BAP in seeking relief from what appears to be

imminent execution against the escrow account, and despite

Appellant’s admission in her Emergency Motion for a Temporary

Restraining Order (filed concurrently with her Complaint in this

Court) that she filed a “similar” Motion with BAP on June 4,

2007, Plaintiff nonetheless asks this Court to intervene on an

emergency basis, ex parte, in an action already before BAP.

Appellant, having already elected to proceed before BAP,

must request from BAP any equitable relief sought in this matter,

including the instant request for temporary restraining order. 

It appears that Plaintiff has already made that request through

papers filed with BAP the day before she asked this Court to also

issue a temporary restraining order. Plaintiff’s Motion for

Temporary Restraining Order Staying Enforcement Pending Appeal is

accordingly DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: June 7, 2007
