Shell v. Yoon

OPINION & ORDER

JOSEPH S. VAN BOKKELEN, District Judge.

The Honorable J. Philip Klingeberger, United States Bankruptcy Judge, called the issue now on appeal before this Court “droll and easily resolved, by simply reading the statute in its proper context.” In re Shell, 478 B.R. 889, 901 (Bankr.N.D.Ind.2012). Though the Court admires the dry humor of his opinion itself; as further explained below, the bankruptcy court’s order must be reversed, because it is not supported by the statutory text.

Appellant, Deborah Shell, resided in Illinois from 2005 until she moved to Indiana in April of 2011.…
