Opinion

No. 10-20090 Summary Calendar.

March 24, 2011.

David Thomas, Jr., Beeville, TX, pro se.

Andrea Chan, Senior Assistant City Attorney, L.A. Teehan, City of Houston Legal Department, Houston, TX, for Defendants-Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, USDC No. 4:07-CV-3251.

Before WIENER, PRADO, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.


Plaintiff-Appellant David Thomas, Jr. filed this action against Houston police officers and others alleging use of excessive force in arresting him in the restroom of a Whataburger restaurant. The case was tried before a jury which returned a verdict in favor of Defendants-Appellants, and the district court entered a take-nothing judgment dismissing Thomas's action. Proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis on appeal, Thomas contends only that the jury verdict was against the great weight of the evidence and that it should be reversed and his case remanded for a new trial.

Our review of the record on appeal, including the briefs of the parties and the applicable law, convinces us that there is no basis for our reversing the verdict of •; the jury or the judgment of the district; court entered pursuant thereto. Accordingly, that judgment is, in all respects, AFFIRMED.
