PER CURIAM: Marlon Canady, a Virginia inmate, commenced this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action alleging claims of excessive force and deliberate indifference to serious medical needs.

The case proceeded to trial, where a jury returned a verdict in favor of Appellees. Canady now appeals, challenging several of the district court’s rulings.

Having carefully reviewed the record and the arguments on appeal, we discern no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Canady’s motion for appointment of counsel and affirm the district court’s judgment. 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
