No. 11-13115.

688 F.3d 1291 (2012)

In re: Lou Ann CASSELL, Debtor. Robert B. Silliman, Chapter 7 Trustee, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Lou Ann Cassell, Defendant-Appellee.

United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.

August 3, 2012.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Martha A. Miller , Martha A. Miller, PC, Atlanta, GA, for Plaintiff-Appellant.

Eric Edward Thorstenberg , Law Office of Eric Thorstenberg, Atlanta, GA, for Defendant-Appellee.

Before CARNES, MARTIN, and JORDAN, Circuit Judges.


CARNES, Circuit Judge:

This is an appeal in a bankruptcy case that turns on the interpretation of a Georgia statutory provision exempting certain annuities from bankruptcy estates. The questions presented are sufficiently unsettled, important, and likely to recur that we believe the best course is to certify them to the Georgia Supreme Court, which is the one true and final arbiter of Georgia law. See Mullaney v. Wilbur, 421 U.S. 684
