1Opinion of the Court
MEMORANDUM **
Debtor Rosalva Lua appeals the district court’s order affirming the bankruptcy *852court’s order sustaining the Chapter 7 Trustee’s objection to. Lua’s claim of a homestead exemption. Lua argues that the bankruptcy court erred in applying state law to disallow her exemption and, to the extent the bankruptcy court could properly consider state law, it erred in not limiting the source of law to state statutory law. Finally, Lua argues that the bankruptcy court erred in applying the doctrine of equitable estoppel to disallow her exemption.
