               Case: 14-13532     Date Filed: 12/15/2014    Page: 2 of 2

Before ROSENBAUM, JILL PRYOR, and COX, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

      Appellee Judith Hackbart is a Chapter 7 debtor. Hackbart has two

mortgages on her house. The first mortgage exceeds the current market value of

the house. Appellant Bank of America, N.A. holds the second mortgage.

Hackbart filed a motion to void, or “strip off,” the junior lien under § 506(d) of the

Bankruptcy Code. The bankruptcy court granted the motion, and the district court

affirmed. We affirm the district court’s order. Folendore v. Small Bus. Admin.,

862 F.2d 1537, 1540 (11th Cir. 1989); McNeal v. GMAC Mortgage, LLC, 735 F.3d

1263, 1265–66 (11th Cir. 2012). Should Bank of America choose to petition this

Court for en banc consideration of the issue it raises here, this panel is of the

opinion that the Court should seriously consider the petition.

             AFFIRMED.

                                           2
