HALLANAN, District Judge:

     Because in this case the district court sat as an appellate

court in bankruptcy, our review of the district court's decision is

plenary. In re Varat Enters., Inc., 81 F.3d 1310, 1316 (4th Cir.

1996); In re Stanley, 66 F.3d 664, 667 (4th Cir. 1995). With this

in mind, after considering the record, the briefs submitted by the

parties, and the oral argument of counsel, we affirm on the reason-
ing of the district court. In re Richman, Civil Action No. AW-95-
1854 (D. Md. filed October 23, 1995).

                                                          AFFIRMED
