PER CURIAM:

     Stephen Gary Merrill appeals from the district court’s order

affirming the bankruptcy court’s orders:    (1) imposing sanctions

against him pursuant to Bankr. R. 9011, and (2) granting in part,

and denying in part, the Appellee’s motion to strike the designa-

tion of the record on appeal.    Our review of the record and the

opinions below discloses no reversible error.    Accordingly, we af-

firm on the reasoning of the district court. See Merrill v. Starer,

Nos. CA-97-1086-2; BK-95-23127-A (E.D. Va. Apr. 28, 1998).       We

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
