FOR THE FIRST CIRCUIT
No. 96-1463
JOHN N. VAN RYE,
Plaintiff, Appellant,
v.
HAROLD B. MURPHY,
Defendant, Appellee.
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF MASSACHUSETTS
[Hon. Nathaniel M. Gorton, U.S. District Judge]
Before
Torruella, Chief Judge,
Cyr and Stahl, Circuit Judges.
George R. Desmond on brief for appellant.
Andrew G. Lizotte, Harold E. Murphy and Hanify & King, P.C. on
brief for appellee.
Per Curiam. Upon careful review of the briefs and
record, we find no error in the bankruptcy court's
determination, In re Van Rye, 179 B.R. 375, 378-79 (Bankr. D.
Mass. 1995), that the trustee had standing to object to the
debtor's homestead exemption claim. See First National Bank
v. Norris, 701 F.2d 902, 904 (11th Cir. 1983); see also In re
Duda, 182 B.R. 662, 665 n.1 (Bankr. D. Conn. 1995); In re
Michael, 185 B.R. 830, 836-37 (Bankr. D. Mont. 1995).
Affirmed. See 1st Cir. Loc. R. 27.1.
