Before the debtor filed a chapter 7 petition, CLMG Corporation filed an unlawful detainer action against the debtor as to a property it had purchased at a foreclosure sale. Later, after the debtor had filed his chapter 7 petition, CLMG, which was not in any way noticed of the bankruptcy case, obtained a judgement for possession. Once CLMG discovered the pending case, it filed a motion to annul the automatic stay so that the judgment for possession would not be void. Based on the facts of the case, the Court granted the motion.
