PER CURIAM:
Karl Linard Malloy appeals the district court’s order dismissing for lack of
jurisdiction his appeal from the bankruptcy court’s order denying confirmation of his
proposed Chapter 13 bankruptcy plan. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible
error. See Bullard v. Blue Hills Bank, 575 U.S. 496, 498-99 (2015) (holding that an order
denying Chapter 13 plan confirmation is not immediately appealable). Accordingly, we
affirm the district court’s order. Malloy v. Schelin, No. 3:24-cv-00828-MHL (E.D. Va.
Jan. 30, 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
