Debtor, Clients Name hereby responds to the United States Trustee’s Motion to Convert or

Dismiss the instant case and states as follows:

DEBTOR HAS FILED HER MONTHLY OPERATING REPORT FOR THE MONTH

OF JUNE AND IS CURRENT ON THE U.S TRUSTEE QUARTERLY FEES.

On July 16, 2015 the United States Trustee filed a Motion to Dismiss or Convert the instant case

based on failure of the debtor to file the June Monthly Operating Report and also based on the fact

that the primary asset of the debtor located at 14816 Wyandotte Street, Van Nuys, California, 91405

was foreclosed upon post-petition.

On July 21, 2015 Debtor filed her Monthly Operating Report for the Month of June and is now

current on her U.S Trustee Quarterly Fees.

POST-PETITION FORECLOSURE SALE

On June 2, 2015, Debtor filed the instant bankruptcy petition to stop the foreclose sale and reorganize

her debts through Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. The Debtor was surprised to learn that the real property

located at (Property Address), was sold by PLM Management in a non-judicial foreclosure sale on

June 3, 2015.

Upon Investigation, she learned that Central Mortgage Company had acquired In Rem Relief from

Stay in an unrelated Bankruptcy Case; Re: John Smith Case No 1:15-bk-0000-SY based on a Grant

Deed which was received by the lender.

This Grant Deed was not signed by Mr. Clients Name, and was never recorded. Mr. Rosales had

consulted with a company known as Coastline and Associates and paid $3,750.00 for a loan

modification. Mr. Clients Name was not aware of the actions of the company and tried to contact

them to inquire if they prepared the Grant Deed. However, Coastline and Associates was no longer in

business.

On June 25, 2015 Debtor filed a Motion in the Case of John Smith to vacate the Order granting In

Rem Relief to Central Mortgage Company. At the hearing on July 28, 2015 the court denied the

Motion. At the time of filing of the instant case, Debtor was unaware of the activities of Coastline

and Associates nor did he consent to it. She was also unaware of the In Rem Relief obtained in the

Tashia Dee Lopez Case.

Based on the foreclosure sale of the only asset of the Debtor, the Debtor will not oppose the request

for dismissal of the instant case.
