Case: 14-13614 Date Filed: 08/04/2015 Page: 2 of 2
Before TJOFLAT, WILSON and BLACK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Bank of America moves to lift the stay on this case and for summary
reversal. We stayed this appeal pending review by the United States Supreme
Court of our decisions in In re Caulkett, 566 F. App’x 879 (2014), and In re
Toledo-Cardona, 556 F. App’x 911 (2014), that allowed a Chapter 7 debtor to
void—that is, extinguish entirely—a junior mortgage lien when the amount owed
on the senior lien exceeds the home’s fair market value. Because the Supreme
Court has disposed of these cases in Bank of America v. Caulkett, 575 U.S. __,
135
S. Ct. 1995 (2015), we LIFT the stay of this appeal. In light of the Supreme
Court’s decision in Caulkett and this Court’s subsequent decision in In re Waits, __
F.3d __,
2015 WL 4378369 (11th Cir. July 16, 2015), we DENY Bank of
America’s motion for summary reversal, VACATE the district court’s affirmance
of the bankruptcy court, and REMAND for further proceedings consistent with
Caulkett and Waits.
