Opinion

Affirmed by unpublished PER ' CURIAM opinion.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

John R. Behrmann, Nancy Behrmann, and their attorneys, Daniel Joseph Schendzielos, Schendzielos & Associates, LLC, Jonathan D. Miller, Nye, Peabody, Stirling, Hale & Miller, LLP, appeal from the district court’s order affirming the bankruptcy court’s order entering judgment against them in the amount of $18,000, based on the court’s prior determination of their contempt of court and their delay in purging the contempt. These Appellants, along with Lelia Pal-more Winget-Hernandez, Winget-Hernan-dez, P.C., John F. Bloss, and Higgins Benjamin PLLC, appeal from the district court’s orders determining that the appeal from the $18,000 judgment was frivolous and imposing sanctions based on National Heritage Foundation’s attorneys’ fees incurred in litigating the appeals and the Appellants’ Motion to Strike the Appellee’s Brief. We have reviewed the record and the parties’ arguments on appeal, and we find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Behrmann v. Nat’l Heritage Found., Inc., Nos. 1:14-cv-00859-LMB-TCB; 1:14-cv-00875-LMB-TCB (E.D.Va. filed Sept. 26, entered Sept. 29, 2014; filed Oct. 29, entered Oct. 30, 2014; & Nov. 7, 2014). We grant the Appellee’s unopposed motion to submit these appeals on the briefs and dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are . adequately presented in the materials be-. fore this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED.
