P1515 REVIEW DENIED An award of attorney fees incurred in attempting to enforce a judgment protecting the judgment-creditor's claim in bankruptcy court does not implicate any federal interest; so after a bankruptcy has been dismissed and the automatic stay has expired, federal bankruptcy law does not prevent a California court from imposing reasonable and necessary attorney fees so incurred pursuant to state law.CitationCHINESE YELLOW PAGES v CHINESE OVERSEAS MARKETING (Bankruptcy Fees) 169 CA4 1025 [See: CCP 685.040; 11 USC 362; Chelios v Kaye 219 CA3 75; Circle Star v Liberate 147 CA4 1203, P/AT 3/07]
