ANTHONY O. CALABRESE, JR., J.:
Sua sponte, the relators' complaint for a writ of prohibition is dismissed, pursuant to Civ.R. 12(B)(6), for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. State ex rel. Peeples v. Anderson, 73 Ohio St.3d 559, 1995-Ohio-335, 653 N.E.2d 371. A bankruptcy stay does not preclude the continuation of proceedings against a non-bankrupt party, since the automatic stay provision of the Bankruptcy Code extends only to the debtor filing bankruptcy proceedings and not non-bankrupt parties. Cardinal Federal S. & L. Assn. v. Flugum (1983), 10 Ohio Ap..3d 243, 461 N.E.2d 932; Sowell v. United Companies Lending Corp (July 27, 2000), Cuyahoga App. No. 76389; Kingsmen Enterprises, Inc. v. Kasunic (Feb. 17, 1994), Cuyahoga App. No. 64720; Terry v. SMJ Growth Corp. (Mar. 2, 2000), Cuyahoga App. No. 76083; Slater v. Haffey (Feb 6, 1992), Cuyahoga App. No. 59659.
