PER CURIAM:
Steven Lewis Barnes appeals the district court’s
orders adopting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and
dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) complaint and denying
reconsideration. Barnes also challenges several pretrial orders
denying appointment of counsel, denying extensions of time for
discovery and to object to the report and recommendation, and
denying recusal of the magistrate judge. We have reviewed the
record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for
the reasons stated by the district court. Barnes v. Dedmondt,
No. 4:08-cv-00002-MBS (D.S.C. Sept. 29 & Dec. 10, 2009). 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
