PER CURIAM:
Shameke Walker appeals the district court’s order
entering judgment for Defendants in accordance with the jury’s
verdict in this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) action alleging the
excessive use of force. We have reviewed the record and other
materials before us and find no reversible error. The parties’
versions of events were contradictory. We will not disturb the
jury’s credibility determination in favor of the Defendants, nor
will we weigh the evidence anew. Accordingly, we 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
