Defendant-Appellee.

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Northern District of Alabama
_________________________
(December 19, 2007)
Before BLACK, CARNES and BARKETT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
Phillip A. Talley appeals the district court’s grant of summary judgment in
favor of the City of Moody, Alabama, in a bankruptcy adversary proceeding.
Talley alleges the City violated his bankruptcy stay by forcing him to pay a traffic
fine after his bankruptcy petition was filed. The bankruptcy court concluded the
traffic fine was a continuation of criminal proceedings permitted by 11 U.S.C.
§ 362(b)(1). The district court affirmed. After review of the record and the
parties’ briefs, we affirm for the reasons stated in the district court’s well-reasoned
opinion of February 28, 2007.
AFFIRMED.
