PER CURIAM:

           James Riffin appeals the district court’s orders:              (1)

dismissing his appeal from the bankruptcy court for failure to

timely file an appellate brief, as required by Fed. R. Bankr. P.

8009, and (2) denying his motion for reconsideration.                We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error.                Accordingly,

we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.                 Riffin

v. Baltimore County, MD, No. 1:12-cv-00897-ELH (D. Md. July 26,

2012; Nov. 2, 2012).       We deny Riffin’s motion for sanctions and

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
