could foreclose. Plaintiff brought the current action seeking the

following relief: (1) a determination that Defendants’ liability to

Plaintiff is excepted from any discharge Defendants might receive

in their chapter 11 case; and (2) declaratory relief regarding

Plaintiff’s rights in the collateral securing the loan.

Plaintiff’s exception-from-discharge claim must be dismissed

without leave to amend because it was not timely filed. The

deadline for such an action was March 12, 2012. Plaintiff did not

file this action by that date, and the court denied Plaintiff’s

motion for extension of that deadline in an order entered on 

September 13, 2012.

Plaintiff’s claim for declaratory relief must also be

dismissed without leave to amend, because Defendants do not dispute

the validity of Plaintiff’s deeds of trust or the loan they secure. 

The treatment of Plaintiff’s secured claim will be resolved in the

chapter 11 case rather than this adversary proceeding.
