PER CURIAM

      Jessie Snyder appeals the District Court’s order denying her motion for

reconsideration of the District Court’s February 5, 2008, order. We will affirm.

      The procedural history of this case and the details of Snyder’s claims are well
known to the parties and need not be discussed at length. Briefly, the government filed a

complaint to foreclose on a lien against Snyder’s property in order to fulfill a judgment

against her for unpaid taxes. The District Court entered an order of sale and later

amended the order to require any occupants to vacate or be evicted. Snyder filed a

motion for reconsideration of the amended order. After the District Court denied the

motion, she filed a timely notice of appeal. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291.

       Snyder argues on appeal that she discharged her tax debt before the complaint was

filed by tendering a “public office money certificate,” which the District Court noted

correctly was her personal note. For the reasons given by the District Court as to this and

Snyder’s other arguments, we conclude they are without merit. Accordingly, we will

affirm the District Court’s order.
