RUBY M. ANDREWS AND BRIAN J. ANDREWS,

Plaintiffs, Appellants,

v.

THE CITY OF CALAIS, MAINE, ET AL.,

Defendants, Appellees.

APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF MAINE

[Hon. John A. Woodcock, Jr., U.S. District Judge]

Before

 Selya, Circuit Judge,
Campbell, Senior Circuit Judge,
and Lipez, Circuit Judge.

    Ruby M. Andrews and Brian J. Andrews on brief pro se.
    Edward R. Benjamin, Jr. and Thompson & Bowie, LLP on brief for
appellees. 

 

September 1, 2006

 

         Per Curiam. Plaintiffs Ruby and Brian Andrews appeal the
district court's grant of summary judgment in favor of defendants--the City of Calais, Maine, the Calais Police Department, and three
individual police officers--in this action brought under 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983. Plaintiffs alleged that the defendant police officers used
excessive force and lacked probable cause to arrest Brian Andrews
for operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated. They also
attempted to assert theories of municipal liability. We have
carefully reviewed the record and the parties' submissions and,
essentially for the reasons stated in the Magistrate Judge's
November 9, 2005, Recommended Decision, we affirm. See 1st Cir. R.
27(c).
