In re: Bryan S. BEHRENS, Debtor. Bryan S. Behrens, Appellant v. United States of America, Appellee.
    No. 14-1575.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
    Submitted: Sept. 30, 2014.
    Filed: Oct. 3, 2014.
    Bryan S. Behrens, argued, Terre Haute, IN, pro se.
    Laurie Barrett, I, U.S. Attorney’s Office, argued, Omaha, NE, for Appellee.
    Before LOKEN, MELLOY, and GRUENDER, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

Bryan Behrens appeals the decision of the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel, affirming the bankruptcy court’s order dismissing his complaint challenging the restitution order imposed as part of his criminal sentence. Upon careful review, see In re King, 744 F.3d 565, 569 (8th Cir.2014) (standard of review), we conclude that Behrens improperly sought to use an adversary bankruptcy proceeding to collaterally attack a final criminal judgment. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. 
      
      . The Honorable Thomas L. Saladino, Chief Judge, United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nebraska.
