Question is a judgment in a state court action entered after the petition date a violation of the automatic stay where the parties in such action concluded all activity prior to the petition date and the court took the mater under advisement prior to the petition date
Answer Yes, it is a violation of the automatic stay, although clearly not intentional, so there's probably no damages to be gained by filing a motion for violation of the stay. The state court judgment is void (at least in the 9th Circuit) and merely filing a notice of stay should take care of that.
