                  Appeal from the United States Bankruptcy Court

             Honorable Victoria S. Kaufman, Bankruptcy Judge, Presiding

         *
        This disposition is not appropriate for publication. Although it may be cited for
whatever persuasive value it may have, see Fed. R. App. P. 32.1, it has no precedential
value, see 9th Cir. BAP Rule 8024-1.
Appearances:       Ray B. Bowen, Jr. argued on behalf of appellant; Alan
                   Wayne Forsley of Fredman Lieberman Pearl, LLP argued
                   on behalf of appellee.

Before: FARIS, SPRAKER, and TAYLOR, Bankruptcy Judges.

      After we heard oral argument in these appeals, the Ninth Circuit

affirmed two of our prior decisions in appeals taken by Asphalt

Professionals, Inc. (“API”) in this case. Asphalt Professionals, Inc. v. Davis (In

re Davis), No. 19-60061, --- F. App’x ----, 2020 WL 3259449 (9th Cir. June 16,

2020); Asphalt Professionals, Inc. v. Davis (In re Davis), No. 19-60036, --- F.

App’x ----, 2020 WL 3259444 (9th Cir. June 16, 2020). In those decisions, the

Ninth Circuit has rejected every argument made by API in these appeals.

We could not deviate from the Ninth Circuit’s decisions even if we wanted

to (and we would not do so even if we could). Accordingly, we AFFIRM.
