Sheehan v. Peveich
Jul

2009
Ruling
State exemption scheme could not violate Supremacy Clause given specific authorization by the Bankruptcy Code.
Procedural posture
In eight consolidated cases, appellant trustee sought review of decisions of the Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of West Virginia, which overruled the trustee's objections and allowed exemptions claimed by debtors pursuant to W. Va. Code § 38-10-4. The trustee had objected to these claims of exemption, arguing that § 38-10-4 was preempted by federal law.
