(a) Notwithstanding sections 109(d) and 301 of this title, a case
under this chapter concerning an unincorporated tax or special
assessment district that does not have such district's own
officials is commenced by the filing under section 301 of this

authority or the board or body having authority to levy taxes or
assessments to meet the obligations of such district.
(b) The chief judge of the court of appeals for the circuit
embracing the district in which the case is commenced shall
designate the bankruptcy judge to conduct the case.
(c) After any objection to the petition, the court, after notice
and a hearing, may dismiss the petition if the debtor did not file
the petition in good faith or if the petition does not meet the
requirements of this title.
(d) If the petition is not dismissed under subsection (c) of this
section, the court shall order relief under this chapter
notwithstanding section 301(b).

relief, delay any proceeding under this chapter in the case in
which the appeal is being taken; nor shall any court order a stay
of such proceeding pending such appeal. The reversal on appeal of a
finding of jurisdiction does not affect the validity of any debt
incurred that is authorized by the court under section 364(c) or
