PER CURIAM:

      James    and   Veronica   Dew   (Appellants)    appeal   the   district

court’s order and judgment granting the United States’ motion

for summary judgment in the United States’ action seeking to

reduce to judgment Appellants’ federal income tax liabilities,

and   to      foreclose   the   federal    tax   liens    securing     those

liabilities on Appellants’ jointly owned real property.              We have

reviewed the record and have considered the parties’ arguments

and discern no reversible error.           Accordingly, we grant James

Dew’s application to proceed in forma pauperis and affirm the

district court’s amended judgment.           United States v. Dew, No.

4:14-cv-00166-TLW (D.S.C. May 19, 2016).             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
