CERTIFICATION IN

SUPPORT OF

MOTION

FOR

ORDER

REOPENING

CASE

I

JOHN W.

YWILOK ereby

certifies

as follows:

1. I was he

Chapter

7 rustee in

Bankniptcy

of

he

above named

debtors.

2. As

art

of he

administration of

his

case

an

Order

was

ntered

denying

the

discharge

of

the debtors.

3.

Although the

case

was

classified

as

an

asset case

there

were

insufficient

funds

in

the

Estate to

make any

distribution

to

the

unsecured

creditors.

4. The

Bankniptcy

Case was

losed

on

September 29,

014.

5.

I have been

advised that

the

debtor

Teresa

Giudice has

filed a

legal

malpractice

action

against

her

former

bankruptcy

attorney

lames A.

tridei in

the Superior

~ouri

of ~icw

~e~scy r

Morristown,

New

ersey

6.

I

have

reviewed

the

complaint iled

by

he

debtor.

The

omplaint

among

ther

allegations

assert that

this

legal

malpractice

claim

arose

prior to the

filing

of

he petition

in

bankruptcy.

7.

The

cause of

he action

is

an

asset

of

he

bankruptcy

estate

since

the

events

giving

rise

to

the

cause

of

ction stem

from the

activities

of

he debtor

pre

-bankruptcy.

8. The

Trustee

cites

In

re:

Hussain

B. R.

and In

xe:

Alfred

J.

Witko

2047

2019375

in support

of

is

position that the

legal

malpractice

cause of

ction is

an asset

belonging

to the

Chapter

7

rustee.

9.

Since

the case

has

been

losed

request hat

he

case be

reopened

and

a

hapter7

rustee

be

appointed for the

Trustee

to

administer this

asset.

10.

The

Chapter

7

rustee

will

have

to

determine

the value

of his

asset

and

whether t

liquidation will realize

a

meaningful

dividend

to

unsecured

creditors

in

this

case;

whether the

retention of

pecial

counsel to

the

Trustee

is

required;

whether

he

Trustee

should be

ubstituted

as

Party

Plaintiff

in

the

State

Court;

and

what

will

be the

cost

of

itigation.

11.

I

hereby

request

that this case

be

reopened

and the

U.S.

rustee

appoint

a

Chapter

7

Trustee.

I

hereby

certify

that
