PER CURIAM.

Barbara Griffin, the wife of debtor Stephen Griffin, appeals from a decision of

the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel (BAP) affirming the bankruptcy court’s1

 judgment

in favor of the court-appointed trustee, Richard Cox. Upon review of the bankruptcy

court’s factual findings for clear error, and its legal conclusions de novo, see In re

Vote, 276 F.3d 1024, 1026 (8th Cir. 2002) (standards of review), we agree with the

BAP that the bankruptcy court properly avoided post-petition payments totaling

$65,000 to Barbara Griffin, avoided as to the trustee her recording of a quitclaim deed,

and declared that the prenuptial agreement between Barbara and Stephen Griffin did

not effect a present transfer of the real property at issue. We therefore affirm. See 8th

Cir. R. 47B.
