J. Marcus Slowiak, Annapolis, Maryland, for Appellant.     Stanley
Shapiro, Dyan Brasington, Appellees Pro Se.


Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).




PER CURIAM:

     Boyce Allen Brasington appeals from the district court’s order

affirming the bankruptcy court’s order determining that a marital

debt was not dischargeable in his bankruptcy proceeding. Our review

of the record and the opinions below discloses no reversible error.

Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See

Brasington v. Shapiro, Nos. CA-02-312-S; BK-00-4129-SD; AP-01-5084-

SD (D. Md. March 7, 2002).    The Appellees’ motions for summary

affirmance/dismissal, for sanctions, and to impose an appeal bond

are hereby denied. 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
