                Appeal from the United States District Court
                   for the Northern District of Georgia
                     _________________________
                             (June 22, 2004)


Before DUBINA, BLACK and PRYOR, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:
        Appellant Wayne Douglas Strickland brought an action in the United States

District Court for the Northern District of Georgia under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.

Specifically, Strickland contends that the defendants used excessive force against

him while Strickland was an inmate at the Floyd County Detention Center in

Rome, Georgia. After a bench trial, tried before the district court, the court

entered a judgment in favor of the defendants and against Strickland.

        After reviewing the record and reading the parties’ briefs, we affirm the

district court’s judgment based on its well-reasoned order filed on August 26,

2004.

        AFFIRMED.
