    Submitted: Feb. 28, 2018.
    Filed: Feb. 28, 2013.
    Eddie Briley, Grady, AR, pro se.
    Clyde Burt Newell, Nicholas Rudolph Windle, Bachelor & Newell, Hot Springs, AR, for Defendant-Appellee.
    Before LOKEN, MELLOY, and BENTON, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM.

Arkansas inmate Eddie Briley appeals the district court’s order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1988 action following a pretrial evidentiary hearing. Upon de novo review, see Sisk v. Picture People, Inc., 669 F.3d 896, 899 (8th Cir.2012), and having followed the standard that applies when a pretrial hearing is held in the face of a jury-trial demand, see Johnson v. Bi-State Justice Ctr., 12 F.3d 133, 135-36 (8th Cir.1993), we conclude that dismissal was warranted, see Story v. Norwood, 659 F.3d 680, 686-87 (8th Cir.2011) (factors in determining whether use of force is excessive).

Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is affirmed. 
      
      . The Honorable D.P. Marshall, Jr., United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas, adopting the report and recommendations of the Honorable H. David Young, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
