MICHAEL E. McDUFFIE,
Appellant
v.
COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS, INC.,
Appellee
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Mississippi
(1:07-CV-1024)
Before WIENER, GARZA, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
Debtor-Appellant Michael E. McDuffie appeals the judgment of the
district court dismissing his appeal from the bankruptcy court. We review
the district court’s dismissal of McDuffie’s appeal in this case for abuse of
discretion, that dismissal being grounded in several acts of delay and
perceived lack of good faith on the part of the Debtor-Appellant.

As both parties to this appeal have suggested that oral argument is not
warranted, we decide it on the basis of arguments presented in their briefs
and the contents of the record on appeal. Having now carefully reviewed the
law as presented by the parties and set forth in the rulings of the bankruptcy
court and the district court, as applied to the facts reflected in the record on
appeal, we are convinced that the district court did not abuse its discretion in
dismissing McDuffie’s appeal. Largely on the basis of the reasons stated by
the district court, we affirm its dismissal of the subject appeal.
AFFIRMED.
