PER CURIAM.

       Eugene Wesley appeals the dismissal of his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action against
Sergeant D. Boltinghouse for use of excessive force while handcuffing Wesley during
a confrontation at the jail. Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties' briefs,
we conclude the action was properly dismissed and we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
