PER CURIAM:

       Jean B. Germain appeals the district court’s orders denying his motions for a

preliminary injunction and for reconsideration of that denial. We have reviewed the record

and the district court’s orders and find no abuse of discretion. See Di Biase v. SPX Corp.,

872 F.3d 224, 229 (4th Cir. 2017) (stating standard of review of order denying preliminary

injunction); U.S. ex rel. Carter v. Halliburton Co., 866 F.3d 199, 206 (4th Cir. 2017)

(stating standard of review of order denying reconsideration). We also decline Germain’s

request to reassign his case. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s orders. We are

unpersuaded by the Appellees’ motion to dismiss the appeal, and therefore deny it. 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
