PER CURIAM.
After a jury rendered a verdict for defendants on Corvin Jerrod Bolden’s 42
U.S.C. § 1983 complaint, he moved for post-judgment relief, arguing that the district
court’s1 excessive-force instruction was erroneous. The district court denied his
motion and Bolden appeals.
After careful review, this court concludes that the instruction fairly and
adequately represents the evidence and the applicable law. See Campos v. City of Blue
Springs, Mo., 289 F.3d 546, 551-52 (8th Cir. 2002) (standard of review). This court
affirms the judgment and denies the pending motion. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
