IN RE: RICHARD P. MEABON; EVELYN L. MEABON RICHARD P. MEABON, Debtor – Appellant, v. R. KEITH JOHNSON, Trustee – Appellee, EVELYN L. MEABON, Debtor.
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.
