Memorandum Decision

Judge James M. Marlar (recalled)
10/16/12 Poland (4:12-bk-18417-JMM) 10/16/12

Holding: Judicial liens (as a result of a recorded judgment) only attach to real property. ARIZ. REV. STAT. §§ 33-961; 33-964. Recorded judgments have no legal effect on personalty owned by a debtor. Thus, neither of the recorded judgments has created judicial liens against the Debtors' personal property. And, since the Debtors own no real property, the "avoiding" of those judicial liens is unnecessary. Thus, unless the Debtors have legal authority that a lien has been created, by operation of Arizona law, upon their personal property (this court is not aware of any such statute), it would appear that the motions are moot. This court cannot grant the relief sought, because no wrong has been done to the Debtors which needs to be undone.
