PER CURIAM:
Steven Wayne Goodman appeals from the district court’s
orders granting summary judgment to Defendants, denying his
motion for reconsideration, and denying his miscellaneous
motions. We have reviewed the district court’s rulings, the
record, and Goodman’s claims on appeal, and we find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated
by the district court. Goodman v. Everett, No.
3:06-cv-00849-RLW (E.D. Va. Sept. 30, 2008; May 1, May 13 & June
18, 2009).
We also note that, while Goodman filed a Fed. R. Civ.
P. 56(d) affidavit seeking discovery prior to a ruling on
Defendants’ summary judgment motion, Goodman’s motion failed to
show that discovery would develop evidence crucial to material
issues before the court. See Program Eng’g, Inc. v. Triangle
Publ’ns, Inc., 634 F.2d 1188, 1193 (9th Cir. 1980) (discussing
prior version of Rule 56). Thus, the district court did not err
in denying the motion. We deny Goodman’s motions for a stay and
appointment of counsel, and grant his motion to amend his
informal brief. 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
