MEMORANDUM OPINION

WILLIAM E. ANDERSON, Bankruptcy Judge.

This matter is before the court on a motion to lift the automatic stay imposed 11 U.S.C. § 362(a). The question to be decided is whether the filing of a bankruptcy petition by a general contractor operates to stay a mechanic's lien enforcement action brought by a subcontractor if the general contractor is not the owner of the real property against which the lien is pending.
