    In the Matter of Devera J ALLEN, Debtor. Devera J Allen, Appellant v. Green Tree Servicing LLC, formerly known as Conseco Finance Servicing Corp, Appellee.
    No. 04-10825.
    Summary Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    Decided Dec. 23, 2004.
    
      Devera J. Allen, Dallas, TX, pro se.
    Richard Allen McKinney, Higier, Lautin, Foxman & McKinney, Addison, TX, for Appellee.
    Before WIENER, BENAVIDES, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Appellant, Devera Allen (“Allen”), appeals the district court’s affirmation of the bankruptcy court’s order lifting the automatic stay with respect to Appellee Green Tree Servicing, L.L.C.’s (“Green Tree”) request to possess, foreclose on, and sell or otherwise dispose of Allen’s 1995 Fleet-wood Manufactured Home. We affirm.

In May 1995, Allen purchased a 1995 Fleetwood Manufactured Home. In so doing, Allen gave Green Tree a security interest in the manufactured home. Thereafter, in September 1997, Allen filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 13 of the Bankruptcy Code. In July 1999, Allen and Green Tree submitted an Agreed Order valuing the manufactured home at $27,000. In her Chapter 13 Plan, Allen was to pay Green Tree the $27,000 secured value in full. Based on the Chapter 13 Trustee’s Final Report and Account, Allen paid on Green Tree’s secured claim $8,080.30 in principal and $3,356.13 in interest. Thus, Allen failed to pay Green Tree’s secured claim in full at the time Allen’s Chapter 13 bankruptcy case was closed.

The decision to grant relief from the automatic stay is within the discretion of the bankruptcy judge, and on appeal is subject to review under an abuse of discretion standard. Matter of Mendoza, 111 F.3d 1264, 1266 (5th Cir.1997).

Upon completion by the debtor of all payments due under a confirmed plan, the court is to grant a Chapter 13 debtor discharge from all debts with certain exceptions specified in 11 U.S.C. § 1328(a). Such a discharge operates as an injunction against the commencement or continuation of any action to collect, recover, or offset any discharged debt as a personal liability of the debtor. 11 U.S.C. § 524(a)(2).

Liens do not survive bankruptcy where the debt is provided for in the plan and paid in full. In re Echevarria, 212 B.R. 26, 28 (Bankr.D.P.R.1997). However, where the debt is not paid in full, a secured creditor’s hen is not extinguished. In re Stovall, 256 B.R. 490, 493-94 (Bankr. N.D.Ill.1999). As Green Tree’s claim was not paid in full, Green Tree’s hen has passed through Allen’s bankruptcy unaffected and has not been extinguished by Allen’s Chapter 13 discharge. Therefore, the district court properly concludes that the bankruptcy court’s order lifting the automatic stay was not an abuse of discretion. Accordingly, for the foregoing reasons, the opinion of the district court is AFFIRMED. 
      
       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the Court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
