PER CURIAM:

Vincent L. Abell appeals from the district court’s order 

upholding the bankruptcy court’s order imposing sanctions on 

Abell for failure to comply with the court’s order compelling 

his compliance with discovery in his bankruptcy case. On 

appeal, Abell asserts due process challenges and argues that the 

bankruptcy court abused its discretion by imposing the 

sanctions. We have reviewed the record and find no abuse of 

discretion and no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for 

the reasons stated by the district court. Abell v. Wilson, No. 

8:14-cv-01037-DKC (D. Md. July 3, 2014). 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
