PER CURIAM:
Richard Brendoff appeals the district court’s order granting
Defendants’ motion for summary judgment on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983(2000) complaint alleging excessive use of force in violation of
the Eighth Amendment. We have reviewed the record and find no
reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by
the district court. See Brendoff v. Nelson, No. CA-00-331-AMD (D.
Md. Mar. 31, 2003). 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
