Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Appellant Ellis Douglas appeals the jury's verdict for the Defendants in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988) civil action. Douglas, who brought this suit alleging excessive force by several police officers when they arrested him, urges overturning the jury's ver- dict because he alleges that the police officers committed perjury during the trial. We have reviewed the record and find no rever- sible error.

Accordingly, we affirm the jury's verdict. Additionally, we deny Douglas's motion to appoint counsel. 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
