In re Ezzell (Case No. 14-51082)
Debtors converted their Chapter 13 case to a Chapter 7. Certain of the funds held by the Chapter 13 Trustee were pursuant to an agreement not to pursue a preference claim against the male Debtor's parents under sections 547 and 550 of the Bankruptcy Code. The source of these funds collected were postpetition wages. The Debtors agreed to have $3,600 remitted directly to the Chapter 7 Trustee in contemplation of the preference agreement. The Court declined to find that the funds collected but not disbursed were prepetition property . Under the recent Supreme Court decision, Harris v. Viegelahn, _U.S._, 135 S.Ct. 1829 (2015) postpeitition wages were to be remitted to the Debtors, but in this instance funds were remitted directly to the Chapter 7 Trustee in light of the Debtors' agreement.
