PER CURIAM:

     Jean    Bernard    Germain   appeals      a   district   court’s   order

granting summary judgment to the Defendants and dismissing his 42

U.S.C. § 1983 (2012) complaint.          We have reviewed the record and

affirm for the reasons cited by the district court.               Germain v.

Miller, No. 1:15-cv-00349-JFM (D. Md. Feb. 29, 2016).                We have

considered Germain’s claims that the district court abused its

discretion    denying   his   motions    for   discovery,     appointment   of

counsel, and recusal and find the claims to be without merit.               We

deny Germain’s motion for a stay.         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
