Legal Question in Bankruptcy in California

bankruptcy exemption: IRA

I retired from the fed gov't. I rolled over my Thrift Saving (like 401k) and put it to my own iRA account. I understand the bankruptcy law states that 401k is exemption from bankruptcy. Now that I rolled over my 401k and handle my IRA myself, will the judge counts it as an asset and forces me to withdraw it? I also have Roth IRA, will the judge forces me to withdraw it too? Thank you.
