United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit.
May 19, 2008.
Before GUY, SUHRHEINRICH, and COLE, Circuit Judges.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Plaintiff Sherrie L. Durham, an attorney proceeding pro se, appeals from the dismissal of her civil rights action challenging the Rules of the Tennessee Supreme Court governing attorney registration and continuing legal education requirements as violative of her rights under the First and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution. 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff argues that the district court erred in finding that she had failed to state a claim for violation of her due process, equal protection, and First Amendment rights; erred in denying her motion to file a second amended petition for declaratory judgment; and erred in denying her motion for disqualification under 28 U.S.C. § 144.
After carefully reviewing the record and the arguments presented on appeal, and having had the benefit of oral argument, we are convinced that the district court did not err with respect to the issues raised on appeal. Moreover, because the reasons supporting the judgment have been ably articulated by the district court, we conclude that issuance of a detailed written opinion by this court would serve no jurisprudential purpose. Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED for the reasons set forth by the district court in (1) its memorandum and order of March 14, 2007, adopting the magistrate judge's report and recommendation as modified; and (2) the order of May 3, 2007, denying plaintiffs post-judgment motions.
