SMITH, Judge.
This appeal arises from the grant of a writ of possession and a default judgment. Appellants' sole enumeration of error attacks the validity of appellee's affidavit under Code § 61-301. We affirm.
1. The subject affidavit was sworn to and subscribed before a notary public although Code § 61-301 requires that the oath be made "before the judge of the superior court or any justice of the peace ..." Nonetheless, a summons was issued. Appellants, however, made no answer to the resulting summons within the time allotted, nor did they seek to reopen the default as a matter of right. See Code §§ 61-302 and 61-303. "If there was a defect in verification or lack thereof, it was an amendable one, waived by failure timely to object ..." American Liberty Ins. Co. v. Sanders, 120 Ga. App. 202, 207 ( 170 S.E.2d 249) (1969), reversed on other grounds Sanders v. American Liberty Ins. Co., 225 Ga. 796 ( 171 S.E.2d 539) (1969); see Mellon Bank v. Coppage, 243 Ga. 219 ( 253 S.E.2d 202) (1979); Cobb v. McCrary, 152 Ga. App. 212 ( 262 S.E.2d 538) (1979). Therefore, appellants' enumeration of error is without merit.
2. Notwithstanding appellants' suggestion upon the record, we decline to stay this proceeding pending a resolution of their intervening bankruptcy petition. See North Peachtree c. Ltd. v. Hicks, 136 Ga. App. 426 (5) ( 221 S.E.2d 607) (1975).
Judgment affirmed. McMurray, P. J., and Banke, J., concur.
