PER CURIAM.

       Roger Onstad, a South Dakota inmate, appeals the district court&s1 adverse grant
of summary judgment in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 conditions-of-confinement lawsuit.
After careful review of the record and the parties& briefs, we affirm for the reasons
stated by the district court. We also conclude that the district court did not abuse its
discretion by denying Onstad&s motions for recusal, for appointed counsel, and to
amend his complaint. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

      A true copy.

             Attest:

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

        The HONORABLE JOHN B. JONES, United States District Judge for the
District of South Dakota.
