PER CURIAM:
In 2010, Richard P. Meabon filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy relief and received a
discharge. However, the bankruptcy court revoked Meabon’s discharge in 2014 because
Meabon improperly failed to disclose certain trust interests on his Chapter 7 petition.
Meabon appealed the revocation order to the district court, which dismissed his appeal as
frivolous. In 2015, Meabon filed a Rule 60(b) motion in bankruptcy court seeking relief
from the order revoking his discharge. The bankruptcy court denied his motion, and
Meabon appealed to the district court. The district court again entered an order dismissing
the appeal as frivolous. Meabon now appeals the district court’s order dismissing his
appeal of the bankruptcy court’s order denying his Rule 60(b) motion.
Meabon asserts that the district court abused its discretion by dismissing his appeal
as frivolous. After reviewing the record and the district court’s opinion, we find the
district court did not abuse its discretion or commit other reversible error. Accordingly,
we affirm substantially for the reasons stated by the district court. See Meabon v.
Johnson, No. 3:15-cv-00398-RJC (W.D.N.C. June 6, 2016). 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
