Michele Blankenship, Appellant Pro Se. Charles D. Darden, Appellee
Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Michele Blankenship appeals from the district court’s order
affirming the bankruptcy court’s order avoiding $3501 of
Defendant’s $16,000 lien against her real property pursuant to 11
U.S.C.A. § 522(f) (West Supp. 2002). We have reviewed the record
and the lower courts’ opinions and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See
Darden v. Blankenship, Nos. CA-01-876-2; BK-99-25293-S (E.D. Va.
filed Apr. 5, 2002; entered Apr. 8, 2002). 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
