PER CURIAM:
Kenneth R. Smoot appeals from the district court’s order
affirming the bankruptcy court’s orders denying his motion to
dismiss his bankruptcy case, approving the settlement of his legal
malpractice claim, and dismissing his adversary proceeding. We
have reviewed the record and the lower courts’ decisions and find
no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated
by the district court. See Smoot v. Tavenner, Nos. CA-05-423-RLW;
BK-98-39531-DOT (E.D. Va. Nov. 3, 2005). 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
