R. Civ. P. 59(e), and to amend the complaint. James also appeals the magistrate judge’s orders denying his motions to recuse and for sanctions. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court and the magistrate judge. James v.
