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.

AFFIRMED
