PER CURIAM:
James Riffin appeals the district court’s orders: (1)
dismissing his appeal from the bankruptcy court for failure to
timely file an appellate brief, as required by Fed. R. Bankr. P.
8009, and (2) denying his motion for reconsideration. We have
reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly,
we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Riffin
v. Baltimore County, MD, No. 1:12-cv-00897-ELH (D. Md. July 26,
2012; Nov. 2, 2012). We deny Riffin’s motion for sanctions and
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
