YOU ARE HEREBY FURTHER NOTIFIED that pursuant to the order of the above-captioned court appointing the receiver, as well as RCW 7.60.110, the following actions are automatically stayed (such stay, the "Automatic Stay"):
(a) The commencement or continuation, including the issuance or employment of process, of a judicial, administrative, or other action or proceeding against the person or entity over whose property the receiver is appointed that was or could have been commenced before the entry of the order of appointment, or to recover a claim against the person or entity that arose before the entry of the order of appointment;
(b) The enforcement, against the person or entity over whose property the receiver is appointed or any estate property, of a judgment obtained before the order of appointment;
(c) Any act to obtain possession of estate property from the receiver, or to interfere with, or exercise control over, estate property;
(d) Any act to create, perfect, or enforce any lien or claim against estate property except by exercise of a right of setoff, to the extent that the lien secures a claim against the person or entity that arose before the entry of the order of appointment; or
(e) Any act to collect, assess, or recover a claim against the person or entity that arose before the entry of the order of appointment.
The Automatic Stay does not presently apply to the action captioned Mayflower Hotel Owner, LLC v. WPA, LLC, presently pending in the Superior Court of Washington for King County, Case No. 25-2-01449-5 SEA.
Pursuant to the court's order, the Automatic Stay shall continue until the earlier of (a) the termination of the receivership, or (b) upon the motion of any party in interest, and entry of an order terminating the stay.
