Before MEYERS, MOOREMAN and VOLINN, Bankruptcy Judges.


OPINION

MEYERS, Bankruptcy Judge:

I

This case presents the question of whether the Debtor's tender of a check to its attorney prior to bankruptcy, which is honored by the bank after bankruptcy, is a post-petition transfer avoidable under Section 549 of the Bankruptcy Code ("Code"). The Bankruptcy Court ruled that the check constituted a voidable post-petition transfer. We REVERSE the judgment of the Bankruptcy Court.
