Before LOKEN, MELLOY, and GRUENDER, Circuit Judges.
                           ____________

PER CURIAM.
       Bryan Behrens appeals the decision of the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel,
affirming the bankruptcy court’s1 order dismissing his complaint challenging the
restitution order imposed as part of his criminal sentence. Upon careful review, see
In re King, 744 F.3d 565, 569 (8th Cir. 2014) (standard of review), we conclude that
Behrens improperly sought to use an adversary bankruptcy proceeding to collaterally
attack a final criminal judgment. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                        ______________________________
