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
