PER CURIAM:
American Bank appeals from the district court’s order
affirming the bankruptcy court’s determination that the lien
held by American Bank against the property of Donna Marie
Barnes-Duncan was void as a matter of state law. We have
reviewed the briefs filed by the parties and the lower court
records and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm
for the reasons stated by the district court. American Bank v.
Barnes-Duncan, No. 8:08-cv-01976-RWT (D. Md. Sept. 24, 2009).
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
