PER CURIAM:

     Mary Ruth Bullins appeals the district court’s order affirming

the bankruptcy court’s order denying relief on her claims that the

Defendants engaged in fraud against her, engaged in unfair and de-

ceptive trade practices, and that the two corporate Defendants were

the alter egos of individual Defendants such that the corporate

veil could be pierced.     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.       See Bullins v.

Southland Dev. Corp., Nos. CA-98-489-1; BK-94-10830-13D; AP-94-2022

(M.D.N.C. Dec. 3, 1999).
