Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Melvin Lee Jones appeals the district court's judgment entered in favor of the
defendants after a jury trial. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible eiTor. We find the district court did not discard or ignore the prior order denying summary judgment. We further find the court did not abuse its discretion denying the motion for appointment of counsel. Accordingly, we affirm the court's judgment. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
