I am pleased to announce that I prevailed in the 9th Circuit and the District Court was reversed! Shapiro v. Henson 1-9-14

I am pleased to advise that the 9^th Circuit reversed the district court’s decision affirming the denial of my motion for turnover of property pursuant to 11 USC 542(a).  This case challenged the holding of  the 8^th Circuit of In re Pyatt which was adopted by the Bankruptcy Court and the District Court. 

 The 9^th Circuit  held that the Trustee’s turnover power is not restricted to property of the estate at the time the motion for turnover is filed.   A copy of the published decision is attached.
