Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Annette Bynum appeals the district court’s order and judgment granting summary judgment to the Appellees and dismissing her civil rights complaint alleging that excessive force was used to effec- tuate her arrest. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s order and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Bynum v. Pitt County Sheriff Dep’t, No. CA-97-229-4-H (E.D.N.C. Apr. 29, 1999). We dis- pense 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.
