    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
    No. 06-8027
    JEROME W. RAINEY,
    Plaintiff - Appellant,
    versus
    LIEUTENANT FORD; SERGEANT POWELL,
    Defendants - Appellees.
    Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of
    South Carolina, at Charleston. G. Ross Anderson, Jr., District
    Judge. (2:06-cv-02267-GRA)
    Submitted:   July 23, 2007                 Decided:   August 3, 2007
    Before MOTZ and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges, and WILKINS, Senior Circuit
    Judge.
    Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    Jerome W. Rainey, Appellant Pro Se.      Benjamin Albert Baroody,
    Samuel F. Arthur, III, AIKEN, BRIDGES, NUNN, ELLIOTT & TYLER, PA,
    Florence, South Carolina, for Appellees.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    PER CURIAM:
    Jerome W. Rainey appeals the district court’s order
    dismissing his 
    42 U.S.C. § 1983
     (2000) complaint as moot.                   We have
    reviewed the record and find no reversible error.                We affirm the
    district court’s judgment, however, on the modified grounds that
    Rainey   failed    to   establish     he   received   more    than    de   minimus
    injuries as a result of the alleged use of excessive force.                      See
    Norman v. Taylor, 
    25 F.3d 1259
    , 1263 (4th Cir. 1994).                We grant the
    Appellees’ motion to strike Rainey’s exhibits one through ten
    attached to his informal brief.            We deny Rainey’s pro se motion to
    vacate and remand.        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
