PER CURIAM:
Jean B. Germain appeals the district court’s orders denying his motions for a
preliminary injunction and for reconsideration of that denial. We have reviewed the record
and the district court’s orders and find no abuse of discretion. See Di Biase v. SPX Corp.,
872 F.3d 224, 229 (4th Cir. 2017) (stating standard of review of order denying preliminary
injunction); U.S. ex rel. Carter v. Halliburton Co., 866 F.3d 199, 206 (4th Cir. 2017)
(stating standard of review of order denying reconsideration). We also decline Germain’s
request to reassign his case. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s orders. We are
unpersuaded by the Appellees’ motion to dismiss the appeal, and therefore deny it. 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
