Description
Order Reginald Coleman, a pro se Tennessee prisoner, appeals a judgment for the defendants following a bench trial in his civil rights case filed under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Coleman's appeal has been referred to a panel of this court pursuant to Rule 9(a), Rules of the Sixth Circuit. Upon examination, the panel unanimously agrees that oral argument is not needed in this case. Fed. R. App. P. 34(a). Coleman alleged that he was beaten by a group of guards during his incarceration at the local jail in Shelby County, Tennessee. After hearing testimony from both sides, the district court entered a judgment for the defendants. The court found that there was a preponderance of evidence showing that the defendants used reasonable force to quell an altercation between several inmates, including Coleman. It is from this judgment that Coleman now appeals. His brief on appeal contains a request for counsel.
