Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
Timothy Sneed, a Florida prisoner proceeding pro se, appeals the sua sponte dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. The District Court looked to Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477, 114 S.Ct. 2364, 129 L.Ed.2d 383 (1994), and 28 U.S.C. § 1367. Sneed also appeals the denial of his motion for recusal of the magistrate judge.
Briefly stated, Sneed contended that he was fraudulently convicted in his state criminal trial. The District Court properly dismissed the first two counts of the complaint under Heck, given that the counts requested monetary damages, and properly dismissed — without prejudice — the third count for lack of supplemental jurisdiction. The district court also correctly found that Sneed had failed to demonstrate improper bias by the magistrate: no abuse of discretion in denying Sneed's motion for recusal. Objectively viewed, the magistrate seems fully impartial. Sneed alleged no facts that indicate that the magistrate held the kind of antagonism toward him that made fair judgment impossible. For background, see Liteky v. United States, 510 U.S. 540, 555, 114 S.Ct. 1147, 1157, 127 L.Ed.2d 474 (1994).
AFFIRMED.
