PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order (1) entering

judgment pursuant to a jury verdict for Defendants on (a) a claim

of excessive use of force by a correctional officer and (b) a claim

that conditions of confinement violated the Eighth Amendment; and

(2) granting Defendants' motion for judgment as a matter of law on
a claim that placement in isolation violated a liberty interest

protected by the Due Process Clause. We have reviewed the record

and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm. We dispense

with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are ade-
quately presented in the materials before the court and argument

would not aid the decisional process.




                                                          AFFIRMED
