PER CURIAM:

            Frank Hackett appeals the district court’s order granting

summary judgment in favor of the correctional officers in his civil

action   filed   under    42   U.S.C.   §   1983    (2000)   alleging    use   of

excessive   force.       We    have   reviewed     the   record   and   find   no

reversible error.        Accordingly, we affirm substantially for the

reasons stated by the district court.            See Hackett v. Taylor, No.

1:04-cv-02130-JFM) (D. Md. Aug. 22, 2007).               We dispense with oral

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately

presented in the materials before the court and argument would not

aid the decisional process.



                                                                        AFFIRMED
