Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. 2 Appeal: 16-1814 Doc: 32 Filed: 05/30/2017 Pg: 3 of 3 PER CURIAM: Corey Moody appeals from the district court’s awards of summary judgment to police officers Danielle Hollandsworth and Randy Gibson, in their individual capacities, in this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 civil action. See Moody v. City of Newport News, No. 4:14-cv00099 (E.D. Va. June 16, 2016) (the “Opinion”). Moody was severely injured by gunshot wounds suffered on December 12, 2012, during a traffic stop and arrest in Newport News, Virginia. The district court rejected Moody’s excessive force claims against Hollandsworth and Gibson, and ruled that both officers are entitled to qualified immunity. We have carefully assessed the arguments made by the parties in their briefs and at oral argument. We have also fully evaluated the record on appeal. Having done so, we are satisfied to adopt the reasoning and analysis of the district court and to affirm on the basis of the court’s comprehensive and well-crafted Opinion. AFFIRMED 3
