Eldon Bugg appeals following the district court’s 1 denial of his motion to remand, his motion to disqualify the district court under 28 U.S.C. § 455, and the district court’s adverse grant of summary judgment in his diversity action against Washington Mutual Bank, F.A. 2 , which had been removed from Missouri state court.

For the reasons stated by the district court, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. We also deny appellee’s motion for sanctions.
