1Opinion of the Court
OPINION
MARY P. GORMAN, Bankruptcy Judge.
The issue before the Court is whether the Bankruptcy Court has the authority to order a corporation in which the Debtor owns stock to turn over to the Debtor’s bankruptcy trustee all or a portion of the corporate assets.
The Debtor, Gary Billingsley, owns 500 shares of Excel Energy Co. (“Excel”) stock. The Debtor’s ex-wife, Patricia Mo-nyok, owns the other 500 outstanding shares of Excel. Excel does not carry on any business and has not filed an income tax return for the last six years. The Debtor has been the sole officer of Excel since December 1, 2001.
