PER CURIAM:
Riker J. McKenzie-El, Jr., appeals the district court’s order dismissing Container
Royalty Fund’s complaint seeking an order directing the Fund regarding the disposition of
funds purportedly subject to a levy from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). During the
course of the proceedings, the IRS confirmed that the debt that was the subject of the levy
had been satisfied and disclaimed any interest in the funds. Container Royalty thus released
the funds to McKenzie-El and the district court dismissed the complaint.
We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm
the district court’s order. Steamship Trade Assoc. of Baltimore, Inc. v. McKenzie-El, No.
1:23-cv-00794-ABA (D. Md. Feb. 28, 2025). 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
