United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
April 2, 1997.

Afnan Jerome Parker, Appellant Pro Se.
Mark Douglas Loftis, Woods, Rogers & Hazlegrove, Roanoke, Virginia, for Appellees.
Before RUSSELL, LUTTIG, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:

1
Afnan Jerome Parker appeals from the district court's orders (1) adopting the magistrate judge's recommendation and dismissing all of the claims in his complaint except the Eighth Amendment claim, (2) entering judgment on the jury verdict against Parker on his Eighth Amendment claim, (3) denying his motion for preparation of transcripts at government expense, and (4) refusing, for lack of jurisdiction, to act on Parker's motion to amend or for a new trial and motion to produce transcripts and court documents.  We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinions and find no reversible error.  Accordingly, we deny the Appellees' motion to dismiss for failure to prosecute, deny Parker's motions for appointment of counsel and for a new trial, and affirm on the reasoning of the district court.  Parker v. Proffitt, No. CA-94-815-R (W.D.Va. Apr. 26, 1996, and May 30, 1996).  We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
