PER CURIAM:

               Christopher       Petito,        Stephen   Sieber,     and     Ronald

Williams appeal from the district court’s order affirming the

bankruptcy court’s order dismissing their complaint.                         We have

reviewed the record on appeal and the informal briefs filed by

the   parties     and    find     no   reversible     error.    Accordingly,        we

affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.                        Petito v.

The Washington Post Companies, No. 8:11-cv-01314-RWT (D. Md.,

July 8, 2011).           We deny the motion to recuse the lower court

judges    and    deny    the     motion    to    consolidate   this   appeal       with

Appeal No. 11-2208.             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.

                                                                            AFFIRMED
