Before GRUENDER, SHEPHERD, and STRAS, Circuit Judges.
                        ____________

PER CURIAM.
       Bryan Reichel accuses the former United States Trustee of improperly seizing
assets and allowing fraudulent claims in his now-closed bankruptcy case. The
Bankruptcy Appellate Panel affirmed the bankruptcy court’s 1 denial of various
motions and its decision not to reopen the case. Having carefully reviewed the
record and the arguments on appeal, we affirm the judgment.2 See, e.g., 11 U.S.C.
§ 101(5)(A) (providing that a “right to payment” need not be “reduced to judgment”
or “undisputed” to count as a “claim”); Fed. R. Bankr. P. 3001(c)(2)(D)(ii)
(authorizing the bankruptcy court to determine “appropriate relief” when a proof of
claim lacks supporting information).
                       ______________________________

      1
      The Honorable Katherine A. Constantine, Chief Judge, United States
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Minnesota.
      2
          We also deny the pending motion for oral argument.
