Before WOLLMAN, BOWMAN, and COLLOTON, Circuit Judges.
                       ____________

PER CURIAM.
       In this adversary proceeding filed in the Chapter 7 involuntary bankruptcy case
of debtor Mamtek US, Inc., Mamtek insiders Bruce Cole and Nanette Cole appeal
from the judgment of the District Court1 affirming orders of the Bankruptcy Court2
that held the Coles in contempt and transferred the proceeds of the sale of their
residence to the bankruptcy trustee.3 After de novo review, we conclude there was
no error warranting reversal, and we affirm. See Ritchie Special Credit Invs., Ltd. v.
U.S. Trustee, 620 F.3d 847, 853 (8th Cir. 2010) (standard of review).
                        ______________________________

      1
      The Honorable Nanette K. Laughrey, United States District Judge for the
Western District of Missouri.
      2
      The Honorable Dennis R. Dow, United States Bankruptcy Judge for the
Western District of Missouri.
      3
       We previously affirmed after the bankruptcy court granted the trustee’s motion
for partial summary judgment on claims seeking to avoid certain fraudulent and
preferential transfers. See Strauss v. Cole, 608 F. App’x 438 (8th Cir. 2015).
