and

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Baltimore. Benson Everett Legg, Chief District Judge. (CA-04-2899-BEL; BK-01-50422-SD)

Submitted: April 27, 2006 Decided: May 1, 2006

Before NIEMEYER and MOTZ, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

James E. Reid, Appellant Pro Se. Richard L. Costella, MILES & STOCKBRIDGE, P.C., Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c).

- 2 - PER CURIAM:

James E. Reid appeals from the district court’s order

affirming the bankruptcy court’s orders dismissing his Chapter 13

bankruptcy petition and entering a consent order lifting the

automatic stay. Our review of the record and the opinions below

discloses no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the

reasons stated by the district court. See Reid v. Knarf

Investments, Nos. CA-04-2899-BEL; BK-01-50422-SD (D. Md. filed

Sept. 28, 2005 & entered Sept. 29, 2005). We deny Reid’s motions

for stay pending appeal and to vacate the district court’s order

and dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal

contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the

court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
