Smoot appeals from the district court s order affirming the bankruptcy court s orders denying his motion to dismiss his bankruptcy case, approving the settlement of his legal malpractice claim, and dismissing his adversary proceeding. We have reviewed the record and the lower courts decisions and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. See Smoot v. Tavenner, Nos. CA-05-423-RLW; BK-98-39531-DOT (E.D. Va. Nov. 3, 2005). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. AFFIRMED - 2 -
