Staff Report//December 20, 2019//
Where debtor challenged the dismissal of her request for relief for alleged violations of the automatic-stay and discharge injunction, the debtor failed to state a claim in her 2019 request, and the bankruptcy court properly found that she failed to state a cause of action based on an automatic-stay violation and failed to state a claim for a discharge injunction violation, so the judgment is affirmed.
Judgment is affirmed.
