PER CURIAM:
VPSI, Inc., appeals the district court’s order affirming
the bankruptcy court’s order granting the debtor’s motion for
authorization to pursue a state court personal injury suit.

We

have reviewed the record included on appeal, as well as the
parties’ briefs, and find no reversible error.

Accordingly, we

affirm for the reasons stated by the courts below.

See VPSI,

Inc. v. Padula, No. 1:15-cv-00612-AJT-IDD (E.D. Va. Aug. 21,
2015); No. 11-12985-BFK (E.D. Va. Apr. 28, 2015).

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
