PER CURIAM.

Eugene Hampton appeals the district court’s1 grant of summary judgment dismissing his action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 alleging that correctional officers used excessive force against him. Upon careful de novo review of the record, we find no basis for reversal. See Myers v. Lutsen Mts. Corp., 587 F.3d 891, 892-93 (8th Cir. 2009) (standard of review). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. ______________________________

1 The Honorable Catherine D. Perry, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri.
