Ruling
Debtor was not entitled to reimbursement by trustee from estate's share of lawsuit settlement proceeds to make up for garnishment by bank from debtor's own share of proceeds.
Procedural posture
Debtor filed a petition under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, and a trustee was appointed to administer the debtor's bankruptcy estate. The trustee filed objections to the debtor's claims that a tort claim and a workers' compensation claim he possessed were exempt property, but reached a settlement with the debtor. After the court approved the settlement, the debtor sought relief from the terms of the court's order.
