Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from a jury verdict finding in favor of the

Defendants on his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) complaint in which he

alleged that the Defendants, who are all police officers, assaulted

him following a traffic stop and illegally searched the trunk of

his car. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.
Accordingly, we affirm the jury's verdict. Shelton v. Shamus, No.
CA-96-1030 (E.D. Va. Feb. 10, 1998). 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 deci-
sional process.

                                                          AFFIRMED
