PER CURIAM:

Barry Nakell appeals the district court’s order assessing 

fees and costs pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1927 (2012), against him 

for unreasonably multiplying the proceedings in an action in a 

bankruptcy case. We have reviewed the parties’ briefs and the 

record on appeal and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we 

affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Nakell v. 

Barth, No. 5:14-cv-00236-F (E.D.N.C. July 10, 2015). We grant 

Barth’s motion to submit the case on the briefs and we dispense 

with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are 

adequately presented in the materials before this court and 

argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
