PER CURIAM: Quamaine Deshawn Carmichael appeals the district court’s order granting summary judgment to Defendant on Carmichael’s 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claim of excessive force. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. Carmichael v. Xayavong, No. 5:22-cv-00003-MR (W.D.N.C. Aug. 30, 2023). 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
