DOCKET TEXT ORDER
(no separate order issued:) This case came before the court on June 5, 2025 for a hearing on a motion for relief from stay filed by AgWest Farm Credit FLCA and AgWest Farm Credit PCA (Dkt. 135; the "Motion"), which drew opposition from Debtor Gill Ranch LLC (Dkt. 141), as well as for a continued status conference. Appearances were as noted on the record. For the reasons stated on the record, the court orders as follows: (1) The Motion is hereby granted under 11 U.S.C. § 362(d)(1) to the extent necessary to permit AgWest to record or file a notice of default with respect to the loans described in the Motion. (2) The status conference and the hearing on the Motion are hereby continued to June 11, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. (3) The June 11 hearings will convene via Zoom. The court's website offers information explaining how to arrange an appearance at a video hearing. If you have questions about how to participate in a video hearing, you may contact the court by calling 888-821-7606 or by using the Live Chat feature on the court's website. (4) No additional pleadings in support of or in opposition to the Motion may be filed absent prior leave of court. (5) The court finds and concludes that compelling circumstances exist under 11 U.S.C. § 362(e) that justify continuing the stay in effect, except to the extent modified by this order, until the court orders otherwise.
