Before WOLLMAN, MURPHY, and COLLOTON, Circuit Judges.
                         ___________

PER CURIAM.

       Barbara Griffin, the wife of debtor Stephen Griffin, appeals from a decision of
the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel (BAP) affirming the bankruptcy court’s1 judgment
in favor of the court-appointed trustee, Richard Cox. Upon review of the bankruptcy
court’s factual findings for clear error, and its legal conclusions de novo, see In re
Vote, 
276 F.3d 1024
, 1026 (8th Cir. 2002) (standards of review), we agree with the
BAP that the bankruptcy court properly avoided post-petition payments totaling


      1
      The Honorable James G. Mixon, United States Bankruptcy Judge for the
Western District of Arkansas.
$65,000 to Barbara Griffin, avoided as to the trustee her recording of a quitclaim deed,
and declared that the prenuptial agreement between Barbara and Stephen Griffin did
not effect a present transfer of the real property at issue. We therefore affirm. See 8th
Cir. R. 47B.
