                                  ____________

Before COLLOTON, WOLLMAN, and ERICKSON, Circuit Judges.
                        ____________
PER CURIAM.

       In this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action, Nebraska inmate Jose Oliveira-Coutinho
appeals after the district court1 adversely granted summary judgment on his access-to-
courts claim. He challenges the district court’s grant of summary judgment, denial of
his requests for discovery, and denial of his motions for appointment of counsel and
to stay the proceedings while he sought counsel.

       We conclude that the district court did not err in granting summary judgment,
because Oliveira-Coutinho failed to create a genuine issue of material fact as to
whether he was actually injured. See Hartsfield v. Nichols, 

, 831-32 (8th
Cir. 2008) (discussing actual-injury requirement for access-to-courts claim). We also
conclude that the district court did not abuse its broad discretion in denying Oliveira-
Coutinho’s discovery requests. Finally, we conclude that the district court did not
abuse its discretion in denying Oliveira-Coutinho’s motion for appointment of
counsel, or in denying his motion to stay the proceedings while he sought counsel.

      Accordingly, we affirm the judgment. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                     ______________________________

      The Honorable Richard G. Kopf, United States District Judge for the District
of Nebraska.
