Blakesley has filed a claim of exemption from money in a bank account with the People's Bank, Bridgeport, Connecticut.

Connecticut General Statutes 52-67b(h) requires that a claim of exemption be filed with and "received by" the banking institution within fifteen days of the mailing to the judgment debtor of the execution.
