ECF No. 327. See 11 U.S.C. § 362(c)(2) ("[T]he stay of any other act under subsection (a) of this section continues until the earliest of . . (B) the time the case is dismissed.").
As the March 2013 Duty Judge, the undersigned judge hereby ORDERS that the stay be lifted, and the case be reopened and reassigned.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
