United States First Circuit

In a bankruptcy action, judgment of the bankruptcy appellate panel is affirmed where 11 U.S.C. sec. 522(g) does not authorize the bankruptcy court to deny a debtor's homestead exemption with respect to property that had been fraudulently transferred and then voluntarily reconveyed pre-petition, even though the re-transfer came about through the efforts of a creditor.
