MEMORANDUM DECISION RE CORRECTED MOTION
FOR APPROPRIATE RELIEF AND SANCTIONS AGAINST VERIZON
The debtor has filed a Corrected Motion for Appropriate
Relief and Sanctions Against Verizon (Docket Entry (“DE”) No.
84), supplementing his Renewed Motion for Appropriate Relief
and Sanctions Against Verizon (DE No. 60). 	Stripped of
irrelevant allegations, the Renewed Motion’s only relevant
allegation was that on November 2, 2008, after receiving notice
of this bankruptcy case, Verizon delivered to the debtor a demand
for payment in violation of 11 U.S.C. § 362(a). 	I dismissed the
Renewed Motion because the debtor failed to identify the debt
allegedly sought to be collected by Verizon and the date on which
that debt was incurred. 	The Corrected Motion attaches a bill
dated January 2, 2009, but that bill fails to show any debt
incurred before the debtor commenced this case as a chapter 13
The order below is hereby signed.
Signed: January 27, 2009.
