Countrywide Home Mortgages v. Rodriguez
Petition for certiorari denied on November 14, 2011
Issue: Does the Bankruptcy Code's automatic stay,
11 U.S.C. §362, take precedence over a mortgage
lender's right under the Real Estate Settlement
Procedures Act, 12 U.S.C. §2609(a)(2), to require a
borrower to deposit additional funds into his escrow
account after filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection
when those funds are needed to cover the
borrower's anticipated post-petition taxes, insurance,
and other escrow obligations?
