United States Third Circuit


In re: Brannon, 05-4600 & 05-5060

Rulings against debtors, two pairs of spouses, in bankruptcy cases are reversed where their uses of federal exemptions were permissible under the Bankruptcy Code, and, contrary to the district court's conclusion, a spouse's "aggregate interest" in entireties property is not limited to half of the value of the property.
