Before: RYMER, McKEOWN, and PAEZ, Circuit Judges.
Alexis Mager Lakusta appeals pro se from the district court’s judgment
affirming the bankruptcy court’s order dismissing his Chapter 7 case. We have
jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 158(d). We review decisions of the
bankruptcy court independently without deference to the district court’s
determinations. Leichty v. Neary (In re Strand), 375 F.3d 854, 857 (9th Cir. 2004).
We affirm.
The bankruptcy court did not improperly dismiss Lakusta’s claims on any of
the grounds asserted.
Evans’s request for sanctions is denied.
AFFIRMED.
