PER CURIAM:

           James E. Reid appeals from the district court’s order

affirming the bankruptcy court’s orders dismissing his Chapter 13

bankruptcy petition and entering a consent order lifting the

automatic stay.    Our review of the record and the opinions below

discloses no reversible error.            Accordingly, we affirm for the

reasons   stated   by   the    district    court.      See    Reid   v.    Knarf

Investments, Nos. CA-04-2899-BEL; BK-01-50422-SD (D. Md. filed

Sept. 28, 2005 & entered Sept. 29, 2005).            We deny Reid’s motions

for stay pending appeal and to vacate the district court’s order

and   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
