PER CURIAM:
Eric C. Fedewa and Ritika Fedewa appeal from the district court’s order affirming
the bankruptcy court’s orders dismissing their complaint, which had been removed from
state court, and denying their motion for reconsideration. We have reviewed the record
submitted on appeal and the arguments of the parties and conclude that the bankruptcy
court appropriately dismissed the complaint. See In re Varat Enters. Inc., 81 F.3d 1310,
1315 (4th Cir. 1996) (describing requirements for res judicata). Accordingly, we affirm
the district court’s order affirming the bankruptcy court’s dismissal of the Fedewas’
complaint and denial of their motion for reconsideration of that order. 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
