Before: SCHROEDER, FERNANDEZ and RYMER, Circuit Judges.


MEMORANDUM* 

Wesley E. Hotchkiss, Jr. appeals pro se the district court's order dismissing for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted his Second Amended Selective Class Action Suit alleging that since 1991 numerous state and federal courts have done nothing to assist him to obtain back pay and interest from his former employer; that his retained attorney failed to represent him; and that the Oregon and American Bar Associations, and numerous state and federal agencies, failed to take any action. We affirm for the reasons stated in the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation, filed on November 13, 1996 and adopted by the district court in its Order filed on January 6, 1997.

AFFIRMED.1 

 **

The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a); 9th Cir. R. 34-4. Accordingly, Hotchkiss's request for oral argument is denied

Hotchkiss's contention that the district court erred by refusing to recuse Magistrate Judge Cooney is unsupported by the record and lacks merit. See Liteky v. United States, 510 U.S. 540, 555 (1994). We reject Hotchkiss's contention the district court erred by denying his motions for discovery and for a full investigation of the federal government
