Anderson v. Raine (In re Moore)

Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit

Decided July 12, 1990No. 89-1555PublishedCited by 34 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

WILKINSON, Circuit Judge:

Here we must decide whether the interests of several debtors in an ERISA-quali-fied profit-sharing and pension plan are the property of their bankruptcy estates. The trustee in bankruptcy brought this suit seeking turnover of those interests. The plan administrator maintains, however, that the debtors’ interests in the plan are not subject to turnover because they are protected by an enforceable restriction of transfer under ERISA which the Bankruptcy Code recognizes as dispositive “applicable nonbankruptcy law.” 11 U.S.C. § 541(c)(2).

We agree with the plan…
