PER CURIAM:

Kent David Burstein appeals the district court’s order affirming the bankruptcy

court’s determination that his debt to Yvette Nonte, his former spouse, was

nondischargeable in bankruptcy as a debt incurred in connection with a separation

agreement, per

(a)(15). We have reviewed the record submitted on appeal

and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Burstein’s motion for a stay pending

appeal, and we affirm the district court’s order. Burstein v. Nonte, No. 2:22-cv-00267-

JKW-LRL (E.D. Va. Aug. 23, 2023). 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
