PER CURIAM:

The Howells sued members of the Prescott Area Narcotics Task Force and other municipal and police defendants under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiffs claimed, among other things, that the police unconstitutionally executed a knock-and-announce search warrant by failing to wait long enough for the Howells to open the door before breaking it down. A jury disagreed, and found the search to be reasonable. The Howells appeal.
