THIS CAUSE coming on to be heard on April 28,1988, upon WESTFIELD FINANCIAL CORPORATION'S Emergency Motion for Contempt and/or Ancillary Relief, and the Court having reviewed the pleadings and proceedings herein, having heard argument of counsel and being otherwise fully advised in the premises, and in the exercise of the Court's duty under Section 105 to protect the bankruptcy system from abuse, FINDS that:
