v.

TORRANCE TREMAYNE GREEN,

                                                Appellee

                      Appeal from the United States District Court
                         for the Eastern District of Louisiana

Before KING, SMITH, and ELROD, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
        In this Chapter 13 bankruptcy case, the bankruptcy court held that the
privilege created by La. Rev. Stat. § 9:1123.115(1) (2014) on a Louisiana
condominium for all unpaid sums assessed by the condominium association
against the condominium owner is a statutory lien (as distinguished from a
security interest) and is therefore subject to bifurcation under 11 U.S.C.
§ 1322(b)(2). The district court affirmed. For the reasons given by the district
    Case: 14-31117   Document: 00513113924     Page: 2   Date Filed: 07/13/2015

                                No. 14-31117
court in its Order and Reasons attached hereto, we affirm the district court’s
affirmance of the bankruptcy court’s order.
      AFFIRMED.
