Before GARRECHT, HANEY, and STEPHENS, Circuit Judges.
On April 19, 1940, appellant here, Blanche Augusta Warren, as petitioner under Chapter XII of the act of Congress relating to bankruptcy, 52 Stat. 840, 916, 11 U.S.C.A. § 801 et seq., filed her petition in the District Court of the United States for the Southern District of California, Central Division, alleging that she had pending an arrangement whereby her secured obligation to Security-First National Bank of Los Angeles, a national banking association, would be either paid in full or refinanced on terms satisfactory to such secured creditor.
The petitioner further alleged that said secured creditor, under deed of trust executed by petitioner, was about to sell certain described property, which, if carried out, would deprive petitioner of the benefit of the said Bankruptcy Act, to her great and irreparable loss and damage. A restraining order was prayed for.
The judge of said District Court on said April 19, 1940, entered his order restraining such sale. On the same day appellant's said petition under the Bankruptcy Act was approved, and the matter referred to one of the referees in bankruptcy of said court. In this order occurs the language: "that the said Blanche Augusta Warren * * * shall submit to such orders as may be made by said referee or by this Court relating to said matter."
On April 29, 1940, on application of Warren said temporary restraining order was continued, and it was further ordered that said Security-First National Bank and Los Angeles Trust & Safe Deposit Company each appear in court at 10 a.m. on the 6th day of May, 1940, to show cause why the restraining order referred to above should not be made permanent. On May 27, 1940, all of the parties hereto appeared in the District Court; they filed with the court an agreement dated on said date, executed by all the parties, which contained recitals in the nature of a stipulation. It stated that certain described properties were owned by appellant; that the Security-First National Bank held a deed of trust thereon to secure an unpaid debt of approximately $58,000, which was in default; that the trustee under said deed of trust had set a day for the sale of the premises; that Warren, appellant here, had filed a petition under the Bankruptcy Act and obtained a temporary restraining order against said sale under the trust deed, and that there was pending an order for said appellees to show cause why the restraining order should not be made permanent; that the appellee Bank had made a motion to dismiss said arrangement proceedings in bankruptcy and dissolve the said temporary restraining order, or in case the proceedings were not dismissed, to require Warren to post security to indemnify the Bank against loss.
The document recited that the parties hereto desire to dispose of Warren's order to show cause and the Bank's motions without the necessity of a hearing thereon and to agree upon an order to be made by the court. In this connection it was stipulated: * * *"
It was further stipulated:
Upon the foregoing stipulations, the parties being present in open court, the court entered an order thereon containing among other things the following: "That on or before August 15th, 1940, Blanche Augusta Warren shall present to Security-First National Bank of Los Angeles a written agreement executed by a financially responsible party, whereby said responsible party commits his or herself to pay the obligation to said Bank in full on or before November 15th, 1940."
And said order embodied the following provisions:
On August 23, 1940, appellee Security-First National Bank filed the affidavit of its assistant secretary, alleging the non-compliance of appellant Warren with the stipulation and order aforesaid. Thereupon an order to show cause why the proceedings should not be dismissed and the trustee authorized to hold sale and exercise rights under the deed of trust was entered. In response thereto appellant Warren filed a motion to modify and extend the order of the court. On August 27th said parties appeared in court, and evidence, both oral and documentary, was submitted, and the court being fully advised entered the following order:
