If you had an automatic stay lifted in a ch 13 then converted to a 7 can you refile a 13 after the 7 is discharged and get an automatic stay again?

PROBABLY if one is in a Chapter 13 and the stay is lifted, that debtor can convert to Chapter 7 and then re-file another Chapter 13 after the Chapter 7 discharge and reinstate the stay against the creditor who had the stay lifted in the prior Chapter 13.
I say "probably" rather than "yes" for a few reasons: (1) Because the creditor could object to the new Chapter 13 and argue that the debtor is abusing the Bankruptcy Code, an argument the Court may or may not be swayed by; (2) If a debtor voluntarily dismisses a Chapter 13 once a Motion for Relief from Stay has been filed in the Chapter 13 case, that debtor is automatically barred from re-filing another Chapter 13 for 180 days (see 11 U.S.C. 109(g)(2)). So, the creditor may argue that conversion to Chapter 7 is akin to voluntary dismissal and so the debtor should be barred from filing another Chapter 13 for 180 days (I have no idea if such an argument would work for the creditor); and (3) Different districts may have different case law affecting the answer to this question, so it's probably best to consult a lawyer in your area.
Please note that nothing in this posting or in any other posting constitutes legal advice; this is simply my understanding of the facts, which I do not warrant, and I am not suggesting any course of action or inaction to any person.
