Oh now I see...

I don't know how I missed it!! My response to the Trustee's Objection to Confirmation that I mailed on Saturday got filed just before the Trustee filed his Objection to Exemptions. You don't suppose he's a little spiteful, do you?

[justbroke]

No. That would mean the Trustee is actually on top of filings and was "prepared" to send the objection to exemptions. You may want to do some reserch on 522(d)(10) exemptions in your District, in case this goes to trial.

We're talking about $118.09. Do you really think this is going to go to trial?

Have you ever seen how quick a "trial" (hearing) lasts? Sometimes 5 minutes. Remember, the Trustee does it on principle to scare the other attorneys and debtors.

Well. A hearing would cost me about $25.00 in gas to get there to defend my $118.09. So yeah, I am also operating on principle, here, too. Not just for myself, but for other people in a similar situation. If this trustee is just a bully, he needs to come down a notch.

I can't believe the judge won't just kick his butt for even bringing this up. I mean, let's inject a little common sense here. Somehow my judge strikes me as a guy who really believes in common sense. ALL of the stuff I am putting into evidence with the response was also already provided to the trustee.

Or is he trying to test me? I kind of felt like writing that in my response. IS THIS A TEST? I mean, you know he doesn't want to deal with my small dollar PITA case any more than any attorney would.

Testing you and maybe being a little lax in his filings. Remember, the Judge doesn't read all this stuff, until an actual hearing / trial.

You know what, jb? Talking about common sense...I am wondering if it just wouldn't REALLY make more sense to amend my Schedule C again since the amount involved is so small and can be claimed exempt pursuant to 11 U.S.C. section 522(d)(5). Seriously.

But I'm wondering if I have to request permission from the court to amend my schedule C in the face of an objection to exemptions?

[tigergem]

Oh no I see... 1009(a)... I can amend anything any time so long as the case is open.

[justbroke]

Yes, you can amend... $26.00 filing fee.

[tigergem]

Yes, you can amend... $26.00 filing fee.

Plus postage to serve the matrix because it is Schedule C.
