NCBRC’s Tara Twomey assisted in writing the debtor’s brief in the case of St. Anne’s Credit Union v. Ackell, No. 12-10720 (D. Mass.), arguing that when a debtor files a bankruptcy petition within one year of a dismissal of a previous bankruptcy case, the plain language of section 362(c)(3)(A) provides that the automatic stay lapses after 30 days only as to the debtor and not as to the property of the estate.
