In re: Patricia Mary HALKAS, Debtor. Patricia Mary Halkas, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. Nancy L. Spencer Grigsby, Trustee-Appellee.
    No. 07-1266.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted: June 21, 2007.
    Decided: June 27, 2007.
    Ernest Paul Francis, Arlington, Virginia, for Appellant. Mary Park McLean, Bowie, Maryland, for Appellee.
    Before NIEMEYER, WILLIAMS, and SHEDD, Circuit Judges.
   Affirmed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Patricia Mary Halkas appeals from the district court’s order dismissing her appeal from the bankruptcy court’s order denying her motion for determination of her right to funds from the sale of her real property. The district court dismissed the appeal as moot because the funds had been fully distributed to nonparty creditors, and, even if Halkas were to prevail on appeal, the district court would be unable to fashion any effectual relief. Halkas has noted her appeal to this court, and the trustee in bankruptcy has moved to dismiss the appeal as moot. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, although we deny the trustee’s motion to dismiss the appeal, we summarily affirm the district court’s dismissal for the reasons stated by the district court. Halkas v. Grigsby, Nos. 8:06-cv02744-DKC; BK-01-23321 (D.Md. Feb. 15, 2007). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED.
