HALLANAN, District Judge:

Because in this case the district court sat as an appellate court in bankruptcy, our review of the district court's decision is plenary. In re Varat Enters., Inc., 81 F.3d 1310, 1316 (4th Cir.1996); In re Stanley, 66 F.3d 664 , 667 (4th Cir.1995). With this in mind, after considering the record, the briefs submitted by the parties, and the oral argument of counsel, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. In re Richman, Civil Action No. AW-95-1854 (D. Md. filed October 23, 1995).

AFFIRMED
