The district court did not abuse its discretion in refusing appellant's motion to recuse. is not grounds for recusal. A judicial ruling in an earlier case

Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the Court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.

The district court also did not abuse its discretion in denying plaintiff's motion for default judgment.

defendant's motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim. AFFIRMED.
