Before WILSON, NEWSOM, and COOGLER,∗ Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

       Bay County Sheriff Tommy Ford appeals the denial of post-trial motions for

renewed judgment as a matter of law or for a new trial. Brandy Carnley and

Virginia J. Lindsey brought this action for damages against the Sheriff under 42

U.S.C. § 1983, claiming that their constitutional rights were violated when they

were sexually assaulted by a correctional officer when they were detained pre-trial.

The jury returned a verdict for Carnley and Lindsey. We have read the briefs and

reviewed the record, and with the benefit of oral argument we find no reversible

error. The judgment of the district court is due to be affirmed.

       AFFIRMED.

∗Honorable L. Scott Coogler, District Judge for the United States District Court for the Northern
District of Alabama, sitting by designation.
                                                2
