PER CURIAM.
Tommy and Carolyn Robinson appeal the district court’s1 affirmance of the
bankruptcy court’s2 order restraining them from pursuing certain claims and defenses
in state court, on the ground that those claims and defenses are property of their
bankruptcy estates. After carefully reviewing the record, see In re Reynolds, 425 F.3d
526, 531 (8th Cir. 2005) (like district court, appellate court reviews bankruptcy court’s
fact findings for clear error and conclusions of law de novo), we conclude that the
bankruptcy court’s order is enforceable for the reasons discussed by the district court,
see 11 U.S.C. § 105(a) (bankruptcy court may issue any order necessary or
appropriate to carry out provisions of title). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R.
47B.
