                           Appeal from the United States District Court
                               for the Southern District of Florida
                                 ________________________


                                           (April 1, 2011)
Before BARKETT and HULL, Circuit Judges, and SCHLESINGER,* District Judge.

PER CURIAM:

       Equity Investment Partners, LP appeals the district court’s final judgment,

entered after a bench trial, holding that the United States’ federal tax lien on

certain real property located in Florida has priority over Equity’s mortgages on the

same property under 26 U.S.C. § 6323. After hearing witness testimony at trial,

the district court made adverse credibility findings that resolved the factual issues

in this case, and to which we defer. Based thereupon, we find no reversible error

in the district court’s final judgment in favor of the United States.

       AFFIRMED.




       *
          Honorable Harvey E. Schlesinger, United States District Judge for the Middle District
of Florida, sitting by designation.
