MEMORANDUM OF DECISION

JOHN J. WILSON, Bankruptcy Judge.

The Chapter 7 Trustee (the “Trustee”) objects to Richard G. and Betsy R. Swit-zer’s (the “Debtors”) claim that certain cash assets in retirement plans are exempt from creditor claims. Debtors contend that three accounts at Fidelity Investments (“Fidelity”) and a fourth account at Merrill Lynch are pension plans that may be excluded from the bankruptcy estate under 11 U.S.C. § 541(c)(2). In the alternative, Debtors argue that these accounts are retirement plans that are exempt from creditors’ claims under Cal. Civ.Proc. Code § 704.115.
