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 11 U.S.C. § 523(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
