PER CURIAM:

Paul Charles Bird appeals the district court’s order 

accepting the recommendation of the bankruptcy court judge and

dismissing Bird’s amended complaint filed as an adversary 

proceeding in the bankruptcy court. We have reviewed the record 

and find no reversible error. Accordingly, although we grant 

leave to proceed in forma pauperis, we affirm for the reasons 

stated by the district court. Bird v. Driscoll, No. 1:15-cv01326-GLR (D. Md. May 20, 2015). We deny Bird’s motion for the 

preparation of a transcript at government expense. 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
