Before BOWMAN, BYE, and MELLOY, Circuit Judges.
                          ___________

PER CURIAM.

      Missouri inmate Terry Norton appeals the district court’s1 adverse entry of final
judgment in his action brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA). After considering Norton’s arguments and carefully
reviewing the record, we conclude that the dismissal of the ADA claims and the
claims against the state defendants, as well as the grant of summary judgment to the
Correctional Medical Services defendants, were proper; that the district court did not
abuse its discretion in denying Norton’s motions for appointment of counsel and
recusal; and that an extended opinion is not warranted. Accordingly, we affirm. See
8th Cir. R. 47B.

      A true copy.

                     CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.

      1
       The Honorable E. Richard Webber, United States District Judge for the
Eastern District of Missouri.
