PER CURIAM:
Randy L. Thomas appeals the district court’s order
denying his motions for recusal, for a more definite statement,
and for discovery in his action filed pursuant to 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983 (2000).∗ We have reviewed the record and find no abuse of
discretion. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by
the district court. Thomas v. Olshausen, No. 3:07-cv-00130-GCM
(W.D.N.C. June 16, 2008). We deny Thomas’ motion for emergency
relief. 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
∗ The district court dismissed the action, and we affirmed.
Thomas v. Olshausen, __ F. App’x __, 2008 WL 5181833 (4th Cir.
Dec. 11, 2008) (No. 08-1769).
