Ruling
Debtors could not reopen case to expand exemption in property subject to judgment lien beyond amount originally claimed.
Procedural posture
The debtors filed for relief under chapter 7 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, and the case was closed in February 2002. The debtors sought to reopen the case for a ruling that the creditors could not proceed with post-petition lien rights on the debtors' real property. The debtors filed a motion to avoid the lien and to compel compliance with the exemption continuation provisions of 11 U.S.C. § 522(c).
