MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
BENSON, Chief Judge.
The debtors, Wanda and Michael Reisn-our, have appealed an order of the bankruptcy court disallowing property exemptions claimed by Michael Reisnour in lieu of the homestead exemption. The court held in cases of a joint filing for relief under Chapter 7, use of the North Dakota homestead exemption by one joint debtor to exempt both debtors’ interest in the homestead precludes the other joint debtor from exempting property “in lieu of the homestead.” Debtors contend the bankruptcy court’s decision misconstrues both federal bankruptcy and North Dakota law.
