PER CURIAM:

           Marc   B.    Goodman    appeals   the   district     court’s    order

granting   partial     summary    judgment   for   Defendants,       the   jury’s

verdict in favor of Defendants, and the district court’s order

denying his post-judgment motion for judgment as a matter of law

in his breach of contract suit.           We have thoroughly reviewed the

record and find no reversible error.           Accordingly, we affirm for

the reasons stated by the district court.                Goodman v. Praxair,

Inc., No. 1:04-cv-00391-MJG (D. Md. Apr. 2, 2008; Mar. 18, 2009;

Nov. 24, 2009; Mar. 30, 2011).            We find no basis to recuse the

district judge and accordingly deny Goodman’s motion that seeks

such 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
