Ricky Johnson, formerly Mississippi inmate # 38717, appeals the magistrate judge’s dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint. Johnson alleged that while he was confined as a pre-trial detainee in the Hinds County Detention Center, Corporal Wright, Deputy Bell, and other deputies used excessive force against him and denied him adequate medical treatment. Johnson alleged that he suffered emotional and physical injuries, including a back injury from which he still suffers.

We review findings of fact made following a bench trial for clear error and legal conclusions de novo. Baldwin v. Stalder, 137 F.3d 836, 839 (5th Cir. 1998). The *475 burden of showing clear error is heavier if the credibility of witnesses is a factor in the trial court’s decision. Canal Barge Co. v. Torco Oil Co., 220 F.3d 370, 375 (5th Cir . 2000).

A review of the record, including the trial transcript, establishes that the magistrate judge’s credibility findings are supported by the evidence. Johnson has not shown that the magistrate judge’s findings on his claims of excessive force and denial of adequate medical treatment were clearly erroneous. See Canal Barge Co., 220 F.3d at 375. Accordingly, the judgment is AFFIRMED.
