[UNPUBLISHED]

Former Arkansas prisoner Charles Knight appeals the district court’s 1 dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action following a pretrial evidentiary hearing. Upon careful review of the record and the parties’ submissions, see Choate v. Lockhart, 7 F.3d 1370, 1373 & n. 1 (8th Cir. 1993) (reviewing district court’s factual findings for clear error and its conclusions of law de novo), we agree with the district court that Knight failed to show that defendants denied him bed rest for racially discriminatory reasons, or that the force they used in escorting him to his cell was unreasonable. See McCleskey v. Kemp, 481 U.S. 279, 292, 107 S.Ct. 1756, 95 L.Ed.2d 262 (1987) (equal protection); Andrews v. Neer, 253 F.3d 1052, 1060-61 (8th Cir. 2001) (excessive force).

Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
