Does a bankruptcy judge have jurisdiction to deny a debtor's exemption?
federal, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Elliott v. Weil (In re Elliott), 523 B.R. 188 (B.A.P. 9th Cir. 2014):
The bankruptcy court had jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. 1334 and 157(b)(2)(B). An order denying a debtor's claim of exemption constitutes a final order. Preblich v. Battley, 181 F.3d 1048, 1056 (9th Cir.1999). Therefore, we have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. 158.
