PER CURIAM:

Bolarinwa Okezie filed a complaint against the Appellees, 

Nicholas Leonard and L. Muse, and the Defendant, Prince George’s 

County, Maryland, alleging claims pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 

(2012), and under state law. Following a trial in which the 

jury found for the Appellees on all of Okezie’s claims, the 

magistrate judge granted Okezie’s motion for a new trial. The 

jury again found for the Appellees on all claims and Okezie now 

appeals. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible 

error. Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed in forma 

pauperis, we affirm the magistrate judge’s order of judgment. 

We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal 

contentions are adequately presented in the materials before 

this court and argument would not aid in the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
