OPINION
PER CURIAM:

1
Richard C. Bartel appeals from the district court's order affirming the determination by the bankruptcy court that the debt owed to William E. Garrett is non-dischargeable.  Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit.  Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.*  Bartel v. Garrett, Nos.  CA-92-2132-HAR, BK-91-5-3395-SD (D.Md. Feb. 8, 1993).  We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the Court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

2
AFFIRMED.

*
 We have considered Bartel's numerous arguments and find them to be without merit.  Garrett's complaint was timely filed.  11 U.S.C.A. Rule 1019 (West Supp.1993);  In re Jones, 966 F.2d 169, 173 (5th Cir.1992).  Additionally, the State court transcript was properly admitted in the bankruptcy court proceeding.  See 11 U.S.C. Rule 9017 (1988);  In re Maurice, 138 B.R. 890, 894 (Bankr.N.D.Ill.1992).  We further find that the bankruptcy court properly held the debt to be non-dischargeable.  See In re Belfry, 862 F.2d 661, 662 (8th Cir.1988)
