PER CURIAM:

           Michael L. Parker appeals the district court’s order

dismissing his appeals from the bankruptcy court for failure to

timely perfect the appeals.    On appeal, we confine our review to

the issues raised in the Appellant’s brief.      See 4th Cir. Rule

34(b).    Parker’s brief alleges no error committed by the district

court, but rather asserts several challenges to the merits of the

bankruptcy court’s order.     These issues are not properly before

this court.     Accordingly, we affirm the order of the district

court.*   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




     *
      We express no view on the merits of Parker’s claims of error
by the bankruptcy court.
