[MAJORITY — PER CURIAM.]
PER CURIAM.
Proceeding pro se and in forma pauper-is, Bobby and Donna Finch appeal the district court’s adverse order and judgment dismissing their underlying appeal from several bankruptcy court orders. Upon careful review, see Fix v. First State Bank of Roscoe, 559 F.3d 803, 808 (8th Cir.2009) (this court reviews bankruptcy court’s legal determinations de novo and its findings of fact for clear error; when bankruptcy court’s judgment is appealed to district court, district court acts as appellate court; as second court of appellate review, this court conducts independent review of bankruptcy court’s judgment, applying same standards of review as district court), we find no basis for reversal. Accordingly, we deny the pending motions, and we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
