Frank Hackett, Appellant Pro Se. Phillip Michael Pickus, OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OF MARYLAND, Baltimore, Maryland, for Appellees.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Frank Hackett appeals the district court’s order granting

summary judgment in favor of the correctional officers in his civil

action filed under

(2000) alleging use of

excessive force. We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm substantially for the

reasons stated by the district court. See Hackett v. Taylor, No.

1:04-cv-02130-JFM) (D. Md. Aug. 22, 2007). 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
