Annotate this Case
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit - 124 F.3d 208 (8th Cir. 1997) Submitted Sept. 5, 1997. Filed Sept. 18, 1997

Before FAGG, HEANEY, and BEAM, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.


Calvin C. Hollowell appeals the district court's dismissal of his civil rights action in which he alleged numerous violations of 42 U.S.C. §§ 1983, 1985, and 1986, and the First and Fourth Amendments. Three appellees cross-appeal the district court's denial of a motion to recuse, and one appellee appeals the denial of his motion for sanctions. Having reviewed the record and the parties' briefs, we conclude the court correctly dismissed Hollowell's action for failing to state a claim. Likewise, the court properly denied the recusal and sanctions motions. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
