                                 ___________
Before LOKEN, BYE, and SHEPHERD, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.

       Proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, Bobby and Donna Finch appeal the
district court’s1 adverse order and judgment dismissing their underlying appeal from
several bankruptcy court2 orders. Upon careful review, see Fix v. First State Bank of
Roscoe, 559 F.3d 803, 808 (8th Cir. 2009) (this court reviews bankruptcy court’s legal
determinations de novo and its findings of fact for clear error; when bankruptcy
court’s judgment is appealed to district court, district court acts as appellate court; as
second court of appellate review, this court conducts independent review of
bankruptcy court’s judgment, applying same standards of review as district court), we
find no basis for reversal. Accordingly, we deny the pending motions, and we affirm.
See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                         ______________________________

      1
        The Honorable James M. Moody, United States District Judge for the Eastern
District of Arkansas.
      2
       The Honorable Richard D. Taylor, United States Bankruptcy Judge for the
Eastern District of Arkansas.
