Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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

Bruce Bennett, Sr., appeals the district court’s order

affirming the bankruptcy court’s order dismissing his Chapter 13

petition with prejudice. We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by

the district court. Bennett v. HFTA First Fin., Nos. 2:04-cv-

23129-CWH; BK-04-09737-WB (D.S.C. May 2, 2006). We grant Bennett’s

motion to proceed in forma pauperis 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
