27 The undersigned subsequently confirmed that a voluntary petition for bankruptcy under
1 See In re: Flipcause, Inc., Debtor (Bankr. D. Del. Dec. 19, 2025). “Under the Bankruptcy Code,
2 || filing a petition for bankruptcy automatically ‘operates as a stay’ of creditors’ debt-collection
3 efforts outside the umbrella of the bankruptcy case. 11 U.S.C. § 362(a). Ritzen Grp., Inc. v.
4 Jackson Masonry, LLC, 589 U.S. 35, 37 (2020).
5 Accordingly, this case is automatically stayed pursuant to section 362(a). Following the
6 || hearing scheduled for 2:00 p.m. this afternoon, the Clerk shall administratively close the file. This
7 || order shall not be considered a dismissal or disposition of this action against any party. If further
8 || proceedings become necessary, any party may initiate them in the same manner as if this order had
9 not been entered.
10 IT IS SO ORDERED.
11 Dated: December 19, 2025 .
