PER CURIAM:
Jean

Germain

appeals

a

district

court’s

order

granting summary judgment to the Defendants and dismissing his 42
U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint.

We have reviewed the record and

affirm for the reasons cited by the district court.

Germain v.

Miller, No. 1:15-cv-00349-JFM (D. Md. Feb. 29, 2016).

We have

considered Germain’s claims that the district court abused its
discretion

denying

his

motions

appointment

of

counsel, and recusal and find the claims to be without merit.

We

deny Germain’s motion for a stay.

for

discovery,

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
