PER CURIAM.

1
We have reviewed the parties' briefs and the record on appeal.  There was neither error nor abuse of discretion in the district court's (i) resolution of appellant's motion to recuse and simultaneous amendment of its previous order to correct its misapprehension that it had earlier dismissed a certain defendant nor (ii) denial of an enlargement of time in which to respond to the show cause order.

2
We conclude that the amended complaint was properly dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, failure to state a claim upon which relief might be granted, and/or failure to make service.

3
The judgment of dismissal is affirmed.
