Reed v. City of Arlington

Reed v. City of Arlington

Ruling
District court properly allowed trustee to collect undisclosed Family Medical Leave Act judgment on behalf of the estate.
Procedural posture

Debtor failed to disclose a Family Medical Leave Act judgment against appellant city in his bankruptcy case. The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas estopped debtor from collecting the judgment, but allowed appellee bankruptcy trustee to collect on behalf of the estate. A panel of the court reversed, effectively vacating the judgment against the city. The panel opinion was vacated by the decision to rehear the case en banc.
