Lindsey has appealed Magistrate Judge Kearney's decision denying his motion for counsel. No 62. Judge Kearney's decision is affirmed because it's neither clearly erroneous nor contrary to settled law. FED. R. CIV. P. 72(a).

Magistrate Judges are authorized to handle these preliminary matters. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(A); LOCAL RULE 72.1(VII). The Court also declines to remove Judge Kearney: Lindsey's allegations of bias are frivolous. Adverse rulings don't show bias. Fletcher v. Conoco Pipe Line Co., 323 F.3d 661, 665-66 (8th Cir. 2003).
