Ruling
Funds in account traceable to exempt prepetition wages were not subject to turnover despite comingling with nonexempt tax refunds.
Procedural posture
A bankruptcy trustee moved to compel a bankruptcy debtor to turn over to the trustee the amount in the debtor's checking account on the date of the debtor's bankruptcy petition which the debtor did not claim as exempt. The debtor then filed amended schedules claiming the entire amount in the account as exempt under state law as wages earned within 60 days prior to the petition.
