The following excerpt is from In re: Tam LY Lam, Mai Thai Lam, Debtors, 192 F.3d 1309 (9th Cir. 1999):
The Lams filed a motion for entry of a default judgment. However, believing that Nobelman v. American Savings Bank, 508 U.S. 324 (1993), prohibited the relief sought by the Lams, the bankruptcy court entered an order denying the request for a default judgment and dismissing the adversary proceeding.
