PER CURIAM:

OPINION

1
Joseph Shumate appeals from the district court's order affirming the bankruptcy court's order denying his motion for allowance of expenses incurred in pursuing a claim against one of his creditors.  Our review of the record and the district court's opinion discloses that this appeal is without merit.  Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.  Shumate v. Patterson, Nos.  CA-91-273-R, BK84-549-7-RKR (W.D. Va.  Jul. 12, 1991).  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
