PER CURIAM:
Dana S. LeCompte appeals the district court’s order affirming the bankruptcy
court’s order granting Manekin Construction LLC’s motion for sanctions and entering
default judgment pursuant to Bankr. R. 7037 (incorporating Fed. R. Civ. P. 37), based on
LeCompte’s failure to timely respond to discovery requests. We have reviewed the
record included on appeal and the parties’ briefs, and we find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm the bankruptcy court’s order for the reasons stated by the district
court. Manekin Construction LLC v. LeCompte, No. 1:16-cv-03119-RDB (D. Md. filed
Apr. 7, 2017 & entered Apr. 10, 2017). 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
