PER CURIAM

Altony Brooks appeals the district court's orders dismissing his state law claims and entering judgment in accordance with the jury's verdict in this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging excessive force in violation of the Eighth Amendment. We have reviewed the record and Brooks' arguments on appeal and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court's judgment. Brooks v. Johnston, No. 9:15-cv-02677-JFA (D.S.C. June 25 &July 6, 2021). We deny Brooks' motions to appoint counsel, for a transcript at government expense, for attorney's fees, for stay of judgment pending appeal, to disqualify/recuse Senior United States District Judge Joseph F. Anderson, Jr., and for a psychological evaluation. Finally, we dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
