an action to enforce a lien within 90 days after recordation ofthe claim oflien.

6. The automatic stay pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 362 precludes Messer Construction from

filing a state court action to enforce its Mechanic's Lien. However, § 546(b)(2) ofthe Bankmptcy

Code states that when applicable law requires seizureofpropertyor commencement of an actionto

perfect, maintain, or continuethe perfection of an interest in property, and the propertyhas not been

seized or an action has not been commenced before the bankruptcy petition date, then the claimant

shall instead give notice within the time fixed by law for seizing the property or commencing the

action. {See 11 U.S.C. § 546(b)(2);see alsoIn re Baldwin Builders(Village Nurseriesv. Gould)^ 232

B.R. 406,410-411 (9th Cir. 1999).

other parties ininterest areestopped from claiming thatthelawsuit toenforce Messer Construction's

Mechanic's Lien wasnottimely commenced pursuant toapplicable state law. Theinterests perfected,

maintained, orcontinued by 11 U.S.C. §546(b)(2) extend inand totheproceeds, products, offspring,
