PER CURIAM:
Marlon Summerville, a Virginia state inmate, filed a
42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) complaint against Manassas City Police
Department Officer C. W. Shields, asserting that Shields used
constitutionally excessive force in effecting Summerville’s
arrest. Summerville appeals the district court’s order granting
summary judgment in favor of Shields. We affirm.
We review de novo a district court’s grant of summary
judgment, “viewing the facts and the reasonable inferences
therefrom in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party.”
Bonds v. Leavitt, 629 F.3d 369, 380 (4th Cir. 2011). Our review
of the record confirms that the district court properly granted
summary judgment in Shields’ favor, and we affirm for the
reasons stated by the district court. See Summerville v.
Shields, No. 1:12-cv-01505-JCC-TRJ (E.D. Va., Aug. 22, 2013).
Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. We
dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal
contentions are adequately presented in the materials before
this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
