See Local Rule 36(c).




PER CURIAM:

     Fred W. Allnutt, Sr., appeals the district court’s order af-

firming the bankruptcy court’s orders closing his bankruptcy case,

authorizing the trustee to dispose of books and records that

Allnutt failed to retrieve, and denying his request to reopen the

bankruptcy estate.   Allnutt also challenges the district court’s

denial of his motion for reconsideration.    We have reviewed the

record and the opinions below and find no reversible error.    Ac-

cordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court.    In

re: Allnutt, Nos. CA-99-641-WMN; BK-92-57401; AP-96-05598 (D. Md.

March 14 & May 25, 2000).   We dispense with oral argument because

the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-

terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional

process.
