1 I. INTRODUCTION

2 Erika Girardi (“Erika”), the current but estranged spouse of debtor Thomas Vincent Girardi

3 (the “Debtor”), submits this limited opposition to the motion (the “Motion”) filed on March 12,

4 2021 by Chapter 7 trustee (the “Trustee”) Jason Rund for authority to compromise with the

5 “Ruigomez Creditors.”

6 As described in the Motion, the Trustee seeks authority to pay to the Ruigomez Creditors

7 certain proceeds from the liquidation of the Estate’s real and personal property, subject only to the

8 prior payment of “(a) real property liens senior to the Ruigomez Liens, taxes arising from the sale,

9 and ordinary costs of sale, (b) the administrative fees and costs of the bankruptcy estate . . .”

10 Motion, p. 2, ll. 21-26. Erika objects to the proposed settlement to the extent that it does not

11 provide for the payment of any exemption (including without limitation homestead exemption)

12 ahead of the Ruigomez Liens.

13 II. STATEMENT OF FACTS

14 On January 7, 2000, Erika and the Debtor married. RJN, Exs. 1 and 2.

15 On November 3, 2020, Erika filed a petition for divorce (the “Divorce Case”) from Tom in

16 the California Superior Court for the County of Los Anegles. To date, no divorce has been granted

17 and no division of property has been made in the Divorce Case. RJN, Ex. 3.

18 III. ERIKA’S EXEMPTIONS ARE SENIOR TO THE RUIGOMEZ LIENS

19 A. Exemptions May be Claimed in an Individual Bankruptcy Case

20 In an individual bankruptcy case, certain property may be exempted from the Estate.

21 11 U.S.C. 522(b)(1) (“Notwithstanding section 541 of this title, an individual debtor may exempt

22 from property of the estate property listed in either paragraph (2) or, in the alternative, paragraph (3)

23 of this subsection.”).

24 B. California is an “Opt-Out” State

25 The Bankruptcy Code allows states to “opt out” of the federal exemptions such that debtors

26 must instead claim those exemptions available to them under applicable state law.

27 11 U.S.C. 522(b)(2) (“Property listed in this paragraph is property that is specified under

28 ///

20889882.1
Case 2:20-bk-21020-BR Doc 139 Filed 03/23/21 Entered 03/23/21 15:24:05 Desc
Main Document Page 3 of 33

1 subsection (d), unless the State law applicable to the debtor under paragraph (3)(A) specifically

2 does not so authorize.”).

3 California is an “opt-out” state for exemption purposes:

4 Pursuant to the authority of paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of Section 522

5 of Title 11 of the United States Code, the exemptions set forth in

6 subsection (d) of Section 522 of Title 11 of the United States Code

7 (Bankruptcy) are not authorized in this state.

8 Cal. Civ. Proc. Code 703.130. “California is an “opt-out” state, meaning that a debtor may only

9 claim exemptions allowed under California law” In re Gonzalez, 620 B.R. 296, 311 (Bankr. C.D.

10 Cal. 2019). “‘[W]hen a debtor claims a state-created exemption, the exemptions’ scope is

11 determined by state law . . ..” Id. at 311, quoting Law v. Siegel, 571 U.S. 415, 134 S.Ct. 1188,

12 1196-1197, 188 L.Ed.2d 146 (2014) (emphasis in original).

13 C. Erika is Entitled to Claim Exemptions, Even if Not Claimed by the Debtor

14 Erika may claim exemptions in property, even if the Debtor does not. Cal. Civ. Proc. Code

15 703.020(b) (“The exemptions provided in this chapter may be claimed by . . . (2) In the case of

16 community property, by the spouse of the judgment debtor, whether or not the spouse is also a

17 judgment debtor under the judgment.”).

18 D. The Homestead Exemption – And Other Non-703(b) Exemptions -- Must be

19 Claimed At This Time

20 Absent Erika’s written waiver – which she has NOT given – the California exemptions

21 under 703.140(b) may not be claimed, but instead the other exemptions available under California

22 law must be claimed. Cal. Civ. Proc. Code 703.140(a)(2):

23 If the petition is filed individually, and not jointly, for a spouse, the

24 exemptions provided by this chapter other than the provisions of

25 subdivision (b) are applicable, except that, if both of the spouses

26 effectively waive in writing the right to claim, during the period the case

27 commenced by filing the petition is pending, the exemptions provided by

28 the applicable exemption provisions of this chapter, other than

20889882.1
Case 2:20-bk-21020-BR Doc 139 Filed 03/23/21 Entered 03/23/21 15:24:05 Desc
Main Document Page 4 of 33

1 subdivision (b), in any case commenced by filing a petition for either of

2 them under Title 11 of the United States Code, then they may elect to

3 instead utilize the applicable exemptions set forth in subdivision (b).

4 E. Exemptions Are Senior to the Rights of Money Judgement Lien Creditors Like

5 the Ruigomez Creditors

6 Erika’s rights in and to exempt property are senior to the enforcement of a money judgment.

7 Cal. Civ. Proc. Code 703.010 (“Except as otherwise provided by statute: (a) The exemptions

8 provided by this chapter or by any other statute apply to all procedures for enforcement of a money

9 judgment.”).

10 F. The Settlement Must be Subject to Erika’s Exemption Rights

11 As set forth above, the Trustee proposes to liquidate real and personal property and pay to

12 the Ruigomez Creditors 80% of the net proceeds of the sale, after payment of “(a) real property

13 liens senior to the Ruigomez Liens, taxes arising from the sale, and ordinary cost of sale; (b) the

14 administrative fees and costs of the bankruptcy estate . . .” Unfortunately, no provision is made for

15 the payment of exemptions, which exemption rights are senior to the rights of the Ruigomez

16 Creditors, and the Estate. See Cal. Civ. Proc. Code 703.010 and 11 U.S.C. 522(b)(1). Because

17 exemption rights are senior to those of judgment lien creditors and the Estate, the Trustee may not

18 use exempt property or its proceeds in payment of the Ruigomez Liens. The Court should approve

19 the proposed settlement only to the extent that it preserves applicable exemptions rights and

20 priorities and carves out such property and proceeds from the proposed settlement.

21 IV. CONCLUSION

22 For the reasons set forth above, the Court should approve the Trustee’s settlement with the

23 Ruigomez Creditors if and only if it provides for the preservation of Erika’s rights in and to exempt

24 property and its proceeds.
