2 PER CURIAM:

American Bank appeals from the district court’s order

affirming the bankruptcy court’s determination that the lien

held by American Bank against the property of Donna Marie

Barnes-Duncan was void as a matter of state law. We have

reviewed the briefs filed by the parties and the lower court

records and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm

for the reasons stated by the district court. American Bank v.

Barnes-Duncan, No. 8:08-cv-01976-RWT (D. Md. Sept. 24, 2009).

We 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
