Ellen Virginia Evans

IN THE UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF MARYLAND
at Greenbelt
In re: 	Case No. 08-12935PM
Chapter 13
Ellen Virginia Evans a.k.a Ellen Virginia
Umstead,
Debtor.
MEMORANDUM
This case came before the court on the motion of GMAC for relief from the
automatic stay of 11 U.S.C. § 362(a) to enable its repossession of a certain 2006
Cadillac DTS owned by the Debtor. The Debtor did not file any opposition, but she did
appear in court to explain that while she did not oppose the motion, she most certainly
did oppose the motion by JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA filed July 16, 2008, and would
appear in court in opposition on the scheduled hearing date of August 25, 2008.
The Debtor stated that she had been unable to get a response to her calls to
counsel, which the court has no reason to dispute, although it seems counsel would
have an interest in the success of the case in that a large portion of his fees are to be
paid through the confirmed plan.
In any event, in the circumstances presented, the court advises that whether or
not a response is filed, it will conduct a hearing on August 25, 2008, unless the parties
reach a settlement of this dispute before that date. In the interim, the court assumes
that counsel will be in contact with his client well before the hearing date.
