In California can a lender seek a deficiency judgement on a recourse 1st and 2nd mortgage using non-judical foreclosure process?

If they can, will filing bankruptcy discharge the deficiency?

I didn't know the answer to your question, but I did find a good reference here that outlined California foreclosure law: California Foreclosure Laws (http://www.realtytrac.com/foreclosure-laws/California-foreclosure-laws.asp).
