United States Sixth Circuit

Neither Tennessee law nor ERISA will act to enforce a "spendthrift" clause in a profit sharing/pension plan containing a restriction on the transfer of participants' beneficial interests; Chapter 7 bankruptcy trustee was not entitled to an order setting aside as a voidable preference a loan repayment made by debtor to that plan only three weeks before an involuntary bankruptcy petition was filed.
