Central District Consumer Bankruptcy Attorney's Association

Take a look at
Central Virginia Community College v. Katz, 546 U.S. 356 (2006)
Issue: Does the bankruptcy clause in Article One of the constitution, by itself, abrogate state sovereign immunity?
Held: Yes. Section 106 which purports to abrogate sovereign immunity is superfluous.

Potential client filed a 2003 no asset Chapter and was discharged. At that time, he owed New York State @ $25,000 in income taxes for 1989. The return was timely filed. The State filed a tax lien in 1994, but even as of the date of the Chapter 7, there was no property for it to attach to. By every analysis, the debt was discharged in personam, and since there was nothing for a lien to attach to, that should have been the end of the story.
Debtor's 2003 filing failed to schedule the debt to the State of New York. Today, Debtor had his brokerage account [ an account that is less than 2 years old] levied upon by the State of New York [approximately $75,000], and despite being directed to the In re Beezley decision, it has refused to let loose of the money.
The 2003 Judge was VZ. Query, is there a quick remedy available so this guy's financial is not ruined while an adversary action is being prosecuted?
