PER CURIAM:
Barbara Ann Kelly appeals the district court’s orders dismissing her bankruptcy
appeal for failing to comply with the filing requirements of Fed. R. Bankr. P. 8009 and
denying her motion for reconsideration. We have reviewed the record and find no abuse
of discretion and no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s orders.
Kelly v. United States Trustee, No. 8:23-cv-00958-DLB (D. Md. June 21, 2023 & Nov. 3,
2023); see In re SPR Corp., 45 F.3d 70, 74-75 (4th Cir. 1995) (explaining factors court
should consider before dismissal). 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.
