Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:

             Jerry Davis appeals the district court’s order denying

his   motion   for    recusal.      We    have   reviewed    the   record      and,

recognizing    that    there   is   no    pending   action   in    the   district

court, we conclude that the court did not abuse its discretion.

See United States v. Whorley, 550 F.3d 326, 339 (4th Cir. 2008)

(stating standard of review); see also United States v. Sciarra,

851 F.2d 621, 636 (3d Cir. 1988) (disqualification not called

for   when   movants    have   no   pending      action   before   the   judge).

Accordingly, we affirm.          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

                                         2
