• holding that section 108(c) also extends time within which creditor may renew limitations period
• holding that § 362(a) does not bar a creditor from renewing a lien but that § 108(c) makes such renewal “unnecessary for continuation of the lien until after the automatic stay is lifted”
• holding same regarding 7 ten-year duration period to renew judgment liens in New York
• concluding automatic stay does not eliminate state-law requirement of extending a judgment lien
