United States Bankruptcy Appellate Panel of the Ninth Circuit.

Decided July 19, 1988.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Edi M.O. Faal, Law Offices of Fortune & Fall, Downey, Cal., for appellant.

David S. Hagen, Hagen & Hagen, Encino, Cal., for appellee.

Before MOOREMAN, VOLINN and JONES, Bankruptcy Judges.

OPINION

This appeal arises out of the bankruptcy court's order granting sanctions against the appellant law firm (Fortune & Faal) in the amount of $4,000. The sanctions were awarded pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 362(h) for willful violation of the automatic stay. The essence of the alleged violation was that appellant had commenced a state court action on behalf of certain creditors after receiving notice of the debtor's bankruptcy filing.
