FACTS: Littlefield (P) sued Ds in a civil action for personal injury. Five days before the trial was scheduled to begin, D filed voluntary bankruptcy petitions under Chapter 11. P's personal injury claim as an unsecured debt. P's suit was stayed under 362(a). P filed adversary proceedings in the bankruptcy court seeking an emergency hearing to lift the stay.
