United States Bankruptcy Court, E.D. New York December 24, 1990, 8-19-70977 (In Re Serapiglia)

OPINION

CECELIA H. GOETZ, Bankruptcy Judge:

The Debtor is moving to reopen this closed Chapter 7 proceeding in order to reduce and avoid, pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 522(f), two judgment liens of The Bank of Smithtown (“Smithtown”) on his residence. 11 U.S.C. § 522(f) authorizes a debtor to avoid judicial liens that impair the debtor’s exemption.
