Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

It is not a state court stay, but rather the bankruptcy court's stay, so it was lifted upon entry of the dismissal. So to get the state court action moving again, all you should need to do is file a notice of dismissal of the bankruptcy action, with proof of service on the other parties.

Depending on what the State Court actually ordered, all you probably have to do is file a notice of dismissal regarding the bankruptcy (with a copy of the dismissal order from the Bankruptcy Court and proof of service on all parties to your action). You should also request that the Court set a status conference to get your action moving forward.
