Facts

Buena Vista filed for reorganization under chapter 11 of the bankruptcy code, and Optimum filed a proof of claim. Buena Vista filed a motion to obtain a valuation of Optimum’s secured claim and for avoidance of the lien. Both Buena Vista and Optimum hired professional real-estate appraisers to appraise the value of the mortgaged properties. Based on the appraisers’ valuations, Buena Vista asserted that the collective value of the two properties was $1,690,000. Optimum asserted that the collective value was $3,375,000.
