Case: 22-10349      Document: 00516520097         Page: 2   Date Filed: 10/25/2022

                                   No. 22-10349

          Juanita Burch appeals from an order of the United States District
   Court for the Northern District of Texas that affirmed a bankruptcy court’s
   summary judgment disposing of all of Burch’s claims. Burch’s claims were
   brought in an adversary proceeding against Rushmore Loan Management
   Services, LLC, in the bankruptcy of her husband, William Paul Burch.
          Rushmore had foreclosed on a property owned by the Burches in
   Arlington, Texas. The bankruptcy court rejected arguments that it had no
   jurisdiction and concluded that the property and claims were the same as
   those already considered in prior proceedings. Thus, judgment was granted
   for Rushmore based on preclusion. The bankruptcy court also declared
   Burch a vexatious litigant.
          After review of the briefs and record, we conclude the district court
   was correct to affirm the bankruptcy court’s judgment. We AFFIRM.
   Appellant’s motion to strike is DENIED.
