Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

Jean Bernard 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 for discovery, appointment of counsel, and recusal and find the claims to be without merit. We deny Germain’s motion for a stay. 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
