Before MURPHY, ARNOLD, and BENTON, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________
PER CURIAM.

       Anthony Austine Ukofia appeals following the district court’s1 adverse grant
of summary judgment in his civil action. Upon careful review of the record and the
parties’ submissions on appeal, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its
discretion in declining to appoint counsel for Mr. Ukofia, see Davis v. Scott, 94 F.3d
444, 447 (8th Cir. 1996); in denying his third motion to amend his complaint, see
Deutsche Fin. Servs. Corp. v. BCS Ins. Co., 299 F.3d 692, 700 (8th Cir. 2002); and
in denying his request to extend the discovery period, see Marksmeier v. Davie,
622 F.3d 896, 903 (8th Cir. 2010). We also conclude that summary judgment was
proper for the reasons stated by the district court. See Johnson v. Blaukat, 453 F.3d
1108, 1112 (8th Cir. 2006) (de novo standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm the
judgment. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
