   MEMORANDUM

Appellant Arturo M. Cisneros, trustee of Jin E. Kim’s Chapter 7 bankruptcy estate, appeals from the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel’s determination that the debtor’s employee retirement plan funds were fully exempt from the bankruptcy estate under California law. Because the relevant date for determining the status of exemptions is the petition date, we affirm for the reasons stated by the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel in its published opinion in Cisneros v. Kim (In re Kim).
