This is what the bankruptcy judge told Zenaida and Kronk that they had one week, from the HEARING on May 30th, to file case law on their Motion for Relief from Stay.

ZENAIDA GONZALEZ'S MEMORANDUM OF LAW IN SUPPORT OF RELIEF FROM THE AUTOMATIC STAY PURSUANT TO 11 U.S.C. 362(a) AND 1334(c)
Summary of filing:
Zenaida filed
Sept 24, 2008 [4 years ago] Complaint for Defamation - Case # 48-2008-CA-24573-0, in State Court - Orange County
April 12, 2012 - State Court Order for Partial Summary Judgment - one of Casey Anthony's alleged defamatory statements against Zenaida must be submitted to a jury for determination since it is open to two separate interpretations.
January 2013 - State Court set Defamation claim for trial - then continued/postponed the trial until Casey Anthony's criminal Appeal was complete.
January 25, 2013 - shortly after Casey Anthony won part of her Appeal, she filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
Casey Anthony listed in bankruptcy a "disputed claim" of Zenaida's defamation claim.Zenaida believes her civil suit is valid and enforceable and qualifies as an exception from discharge in bankruptcy, and will file further action after the civil case is liquidated.
April 19, 2013 - Zenaida filed Motion for Relief from Stay asking the Court to allow them to continue their civil case in State Court, and to allow more time to file more motions regarding discharge in bankruptcy after their civil case is finished.
May 30, 2013 - bankruptcy judge had a HEARING and took Zenaida's motions under advisement, and the judge requested additional supporting documents and authorities to be filed by
June 6, 2013.
page 3 - "... [Casey Anthony] would not be required to travel out of the state [of Florida] to defend against the Defamation Claim, nor would [her] "fresh start" be in jeopardy
since her attorneys are apparently working pro bono."
page 5 - "Moreover, as detailed in the MFRS, the Debtor will not be prejudiced proceeding in State Court.
The Debtor apparently has a team of attorneys working pro bono, so the cost of continuing to defend the Defamation Claim should not be an issue. Litigating in Federal Court will likely increase costs and attorney's fees."
page 10 - "...As detailed in the Dill Affidavit, all of the witnesses who are expected to testify for trial reside in or near Orange County, Florida, which include both law enforcement and lay witnesses.
There are no trial witnesses residing in the Tampa, Florida, or surrounding area. Therefore this factor weighs in favor of abstention."[
NOTE: I believe this is the reason Casey Anthony moved to Tampa a few weeks ago - to hopefully gain an advantage in her request to have the civil suits tried in federal court in Tampa]
