OPINION

ERVIN, Circuit Judge:

Because in this case the district court sat as an appellate court in
bankruptcy, our review of the district court's decision is plenary. In
re Stanley, 66 F.3d 664, 667 (4th Cir. 1995); In re Varat Enters., Inc.,
81 F.3d 1310, 1314 (4th Cir. 1996). We have therefore carefully con-
sidered the record, the briefs submitted by the parties, and the oral
argument of counsel. We have also considered the unpublished opin-
ions in In re 1550 Wilson Boulevard L.P., No. 96-10346-AM (Bankr.
E.D. Va. filed June 21, 1996), and In re 1560 Wilson Boulevard L.P.,
No. 96-10403-AM (Bankr. E.D. Va. filed June 25, 1996), but find the
loan documents in those cases to be distinguishable from those in the
instant case. With all this in mind, we find we agree with the district
court, and thus we affirm on the reasoning of the bankruptcy court in
its memorandum of decision. Prudential Ins. Co. of America v. Three
Flint Hill Ltd. Partnership (In re Three Flint Hill Ltd. Partnership),
No. BK-95-1032-PM (Bankr. D. Md. entered June 23, 1995).

AFFIRMED
