In re Wallace
Apr

2006
Ruling
Congress did not authorize states to create separate bankruptcy specific exemption schemes.
Procedural posture
Debtor filed a chapter 7 bankruptcy petition, claiming that her interest in a particular property was exempt under Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5451(1)(n). The chapter 7 trustee filed a timely objection to the claimed exemption, contending that Mich. Comp. Laws § 600.5451(1)(n) was unconstitutional because it violated the Supremacy Clause, U.S. Const. art. VI, cl. 2.
