Abdul-Rahim, et al v. LaBarge, No. 12-6037 (8th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this CaseThe bankruptcy court denied debtors a claimed exemption in an unliquidated personal injury claim. On appeal, debtors argued that the Eighth Circuit precedent relied upon by the bankruptcy court was erroneous and that the court should disregard and reverse. Because debtors' arguments raised issues already decided by the Eighth Circuit, the court was compelled by principles of stare decisis to affirm the bankruptcy court's disallowance of debtors' exemptions.
