PER CURIAM:
Michael John Brown appeals from the district court’s
order dismissing his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2000) complaint for failure
to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. We have
reviewed the record and find no reversible error, as Brown failed
to adequately allege that his injuries were the result of an
intentional exercise of force by police officers in violation of
the Fourth Amendment.* See Vathekan v. Prince George’s County, 154
F.3d 173, 178 (4th Cir. 1998). Therefore, we affirm the district
court’s ruling and deny Brown’s motion for appointment of counsel.
We 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
*
Brown has failed to clearly address the district court’s
dismissal of any of his other claims; therefore, review of those
claims on appeal has been waived. See Edwards v. City of
Goldsboro, 178 F.3d 231, 241 n.6 (4th Cir. 1999); 4th Cir. R.
34(b).
