See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM:

     Berry Locklear appeals the district court’s order denying

relief on his 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 (West Supp. 2001) complaint in

which he alleged application of excessive force.   The record dis-

closes he suffered de minimis injury.    See Norman v. Taylor, 25

F.3d 1259 (4th Cir. 1994) (en banc).     Because Locklear has not

alleged extraordinary circumstances warranting relief, we conclude

summary judgment was appropriate.    We deny Locklear’s motion to

view a videotape contained in the record and affirm.   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
