Salvage Delacy Stith, Appellant Pro Se. Gary Dexter Gray, Charles

OF JUSTICE, Washington, D.C.; Gregory David Stefan, OFFICE OF THE
UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Norfolk, Virginia, for Appellee.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).




PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals the district court’s order affirming the

bankruptcy court’s dismissal without prejudice of Appellant’s Chap-

ter 13 plan for cause under 11 U.S.C. § 1307(c) (1994). We have

reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the

district court. In re: Stith, Nos. CA-97-786; BK-96-20183 (E.D. Va.

Dec. 11, 1997). 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
