        PER CURIAM:
               Frank and Kathryn Dabney appeal the district court’s order affirming a bankruptcy-

        court order. The bankruptcy court granted the joint motion for summary judgment filed by

        Defendants Shellpoint Mortgage Servicing and Bank of New York Mellon and the joint

        motion for summary judgment filed by Defendants Specialized Loan Servicing, LLC and

        Bank of America, N.A.

               We have reviewed the record and find no error in the bankruptcy court’s decision.

        See In re Frushour, 433 F.3d 393, 398 (4th Cir. 2005) (noting that, in an appeal from the

        district court sitting as an appellate court from a bankruptcy court, we “review directly the

        bankruptcy court’s decision”). Accordingly, we affirm.

               We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are

        adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the

        decisional process.

                                                                                        AFFIRMED

                                                     3
