PER CURIAM:
Patricia Mary Halkas appeals from the district court’s
order dismissing her appeal from the bankruptcy court’s order
denying her motion for determination of her right to funds from the
sale of her real property. The district court dismissed the appeal
as moot because the funds had been fully distributed to nonparty
creditors, and, even if Halkas were to prevail on appeal, the
district court would be unable to fashion any effectual relief.
Halkas has noted her appeal to this court, and the trustee in
bankruptcy has moved to dismiss the appeal as moot. We have
reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly,
although we deny the trustee’s motion to dismiss the appeal, we
summarily affirm the district court’s dismissal for the reasons
stated by the district court. Halkas v. Grigsby, Nos. 8:06-cv-
02744-DKC; BK-01-23321 (D. Md. Feb. 15, 2007). 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
