MEMORANDUM DECISION AND ORDER The debtor filed a
Schedule C. in which he claimed as fully exempt the following
property: "Contingent and Non-Contingent Interests in the Estate
of a Decedent: Personal Injury Case/Work Comp" pursuant to DC
Code Ann. Section 32-1517. The trustee has objected to the
debtor's claimed exemption as "inapplicable." The debtor has
failed to file a response contending that, as a factual matter, the
claim comes within section 32-1517 as a claim against an
employer for worker's compensation as opposed to a claim
against a third party for personal injury damages. The objection to
claim will thus be sustained. To the extent that the trustee is
alternatively contending that the claimed exemption is
inapplicable on some other ground, that issue is not reached by
this decision. The order below is signed. Dated: October 14, 2008.
