Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. 
John A. Adams, Appellant Pro Se.  Kevin Michael Schaeffer, COUNCIL,
BARADEL, KOSMERL & NOLAN, P.A., Annapolis, Maryland, for Appellee. 


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. 
See Local Rule 36(c). 




PER CURIAM:

     John A. Adams appeals from the district court’s order affirm-

ing the bankruptcy court’s orders (1) determining that his debt of

attorney’s fees were nondischargeable in his bankruptcy case, and

(2) denying his motion for reconsideration.    We have reviewed the

record and the lower courts’ opinions and find no reversible error. 

Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. 

Adams v. Council Baradel, Nos.  CA-00-1322-WMN; BK-99-5-0705-SD; AP-

99-5276-SD (D. Md. Oct. 23, 2000).    We dispense with oral argument

because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in

the materials before the court and argument would not aid the

decisional process. 




                                                          AFFIRMED
