HEALY, Circuit Judge.
The primary question in this case is whether severance or dismissal pay, in lieu of notice, constitutes wages entitled to priority under § 64(a) (2) of the Bankruptcy Act, or to lien status under § 1204 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. A secondary question is whether, if considered wages, the pay was earned within three months of the date of the commencement of the bankruptcy proceeding.
