Before EDMONDSON, Chief Judge, WILSON, Circuit Judge, and ALTONAGA,*
District Judge.

Honorable Cecilia M. Altonaga, United States District Judge for the Southern District of Florida,
sitting by designation.
PER CURIAM:
This appeal is from the grant of summary judgment to a policeman
defendant and his municipal employer. The case is a civil action for damages
based on an alleged unlawful seizure of plaintiff: the policeman shot and seriously
injured plaintiff.
We have heard oral argument. We have also reviewed the record, including
a video tape recording from the convenience store at which the shooting occurred
and an affidavit from plaintiff in which he, among other things, set out evidence of
his peaceful character.
No reversible error has been demonstrated. We affirm the judgment.
AFFIRMED.
