Gregory Bryl, BRYL LAW OFFICES, Washington, D.C., for Appellant. Thomas P. Gorman, Marcelo R. Michel, OFFICE OF THE CHAPTER 13 TRUSTEE, Alexandria, Virginia, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Barbara Murphy Brown appeals from the district court’s orders affirming the bankruptcy court’s order dismissing her Chapter 13 bankruptcy petition with prejudice to her right to refile another Chapter 13 petition for 180 days. We have reviewed the record provided on appeal and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Brown v. Gorman, No. 1:17-cv-0565-LMB-JFA (E.D. Va. Sept. 1, 2017, Oct. 10, 2017). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process. AFFIRMED 2
