____________
Before LOKEN, COLLOTON, and KELLY, Circuit Judges.
____________
PER CURIAM.
Kerry and Elma Augustine appeal the district court’s1 adverse grant of
summary judgment and separate order of sale in this tax-related action brought by the
United States. After careful de novo review, see Johnson v. Blaukat,
453 F.3d 1108,
1112 (8th Cir. 2006) (de novo review of grant of summary judgment), we conclude
that summary judgment was appropriate for the reasons stated by the district court.
Furthermore, we conclude that the court’s order of sale was proper. See 26 U.S.C.
§ 7403 (authorizing action to enforce lien or to subject property to payment of tax
debt); United States v. Bierbrauer,
936 F.2d 373, 374 (8th Cir. 1991) (§ 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.
