Before SHEPHERD, ARNOLD, and KELLY, Circuit Judges.
____________
PER CURIAM.
Mark Jones appeals the district court’s1 adverse grant of summary judgment in
this action brought by the government to obtain a tax-liability judgment and an order
of sale on real property. After carefully reviewing the record, and the parties’
arguments on appeal, we conclude that the district court’s decision was proper. See
Beaulieu v. Ludeman,
690 F.3d 1017, 1024 (8th Cir. 2012) (grant of summary
judgment reviewed de novo); In re Harker,
357 F.3d 846, 848-49 (8th Cir. 2004) (tax
assessments made by IRS are presumed correct and taxpayer bears burden to prove
by preponderance of evidence that assessment is erroneous); States v. Bierbrauer,
936
F.2d 373, 374 (8th Cir. 1991) (26 U.S.C. § 7403 authorizes federal district court to
order sale of property in which delinquent taxpayer has interest in order to satisfy
taxpayer’s debt). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
