PER CURIAM:

              Alan B. Fabian appeals from the district court’s order

upholding     the    bankruptcy    court’s     determination       that    Fabian’s

debt     to      Strategic       Partners       International,           Inc.,   is

nondischargeable in bankruptcy.               Our review of the record and

the    arguments     of   the   parties    discloses    no    reversible     error.

Accordingly, we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis and

affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.                      Fabian v.

Guttman,      Nos.   1:11-cv-03155-WMN;        99-00443      (D.   Md.    July   19,

2012).     We dispense with oral argument because the facts and

legal    contentions      are   adequately      presented     in   the    materials

before   this    court    and   argument      would   not    aid   the   decisional

process.

                                                                           AFFIRMED
