and

denying

of

the

judge

and

in

part

Defendants’

motion

for

summary judgment; and entering judgment of $2000 for Muhammad in
accordance with a jury verdict in this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006)
action.

We have reviewed the record and find no reversible

error.

Accordingly,

we

affirm.

We

deny

the

motions

for

transfer and for a transcript and dispense with oral argument
because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented
in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the
decisional process.
AFFIRMED
