PER CURIAM.
Ralph Weatherwax appeals the denial of his motions for injunctive relief and the
dismissal by the district court1 of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. After careful review of
the record and the parties& submissions, we conclude that the magistrate judge did not
exceed his authority, and that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying
Weatherwax&s motions for recusal, and dismissing Weatherwax&s claims pursuant to
Fed. R. Civ. P. 11 and 41(b). See American Inmate Paralegal Ass&n v. Cline, 859 F.2d
59, 62 (8th Cir.), cert. denied, 488 U.S. 996 (1988); cf. Aziz v. Wright, 34 F.3d 587,
589 (8th Cir. 1994), cert. denied, 513 U.S. 1090 (1995). We also deny Weatherwax&s
motion on appeal for injunctive relief. Cf. Martin v. Sargent, 780 F.2d 1334, 1337 (8th
Cir. 1985). Accordingly, we affirm.
