Bernard Wilkerson v. City of Birmingham Alabama, 275 F. App'x 921 (11th Cir. 2008)

Bernard Wilkerson v. City of Birmingham Alabama

Opinion

*922 PER CURIAM:

This appeal is from the grant of summary judgment to a policeman defendant and his municipal employer. The case is a civil action for damages based on an alleged unlawful seizure of plaintiff: the policeman shot and seriously injured plaintiff.

We have heard oral argument. We have also reviewed the record, including a video tape recording from the convenience store at which the shooting occurred and an affidavit from plaintiff in which he, among other things, set out evidence of his peaceful character.

No reversible error has been demonstrated. We affirm the judgment.

AFFIRMED.
