Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

     Barry Nakell appeals the district court’s order assessing

fees and costs pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1927 (2012), against him

for unreasonably multiplying the proceedings in an action in a

bankruptcy case.     We have reviewed the parties’ briefs and the

record on appeal and find no reversible error.            Accordingly, we

affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.             Nakell v.

Barth, No. 5:14-cv-00236-F (E.D.N.C. July 10, 2015).              We grant

Barth’s motion to submit the case on the briefs and we dispense

with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are

adequately    presented   in   the   materials   before   this   court   and

argument would not aid the decisional process.



                                                                  AFFIRMED
