FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA In re RUDY and LORRAINE BRANNON,                                       No. 92-13221      Debtors. ___________________________/ MARIE CATCHPOLE,      Plaintiff,    v.                                                                                               A.P. No. 93-1089 RUDY and LORRAINE BRANNON,      Defendants. ______________________________/ Memorandum of Decision      The debtors filed their Chapter 7 petition on December 11, 1992, while state court proceedings between them and plaintiff Marie Catchpole were pending. The lawsuit was duly scheduled, and Catchpole was listed as a creditor in care of her attorney. The court set February 3, 1993, as the date for the first meeting of creditors. Pursuant to FRBP 4007(c), the bar date for dischargeability actions was Monday, April 5, 1993.      Catchpole clearly knew about the bankruptcy; on January 8, 1993, she filed a motion for relief from the automatic stay. Such knowledge makes the bar date for dischargeability actions effective against Catchpole even if, as she argues, she did not receive the formal notice from the court. In re Price, 79 B.R. 888 (9th Cir.BAP 1987).      On April 6, 1993, one day after the bar date, Catchpole filed her complaint in this adversary proceeding alleging a debt nondischargeable under section 523(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code. She argues that she can show excusable neglect for the failure to file a timely complaint. However, the court is not permitted to allow a late complaint even if there is excusable neglect. In re Hill, 811 F.2d 484 (9th Cir.1987). FRBP 9006(b)(3) specifically excludes actions pursuant to FRCP 4007(c) from the excusable neglect provisions of Rule 9006(b)(1) cited by Catchpole. Moreover, none of Catchpole's actions in the case, including the filing of the stay relief motion, can substitute for a timely complaint. In re Kennerley, -- F.2d --, 93 C.D.O.S. 3979 (9th Cir.1993).      For the foregoing reasons, this adversary proceeding will be dismissed, with prejudice.
