Narrative:

After being called about the hot brakes, I went to the aircraft and talked to the crew. They reported a normal landing except for high brake temperature at gate. I called for a lead mechanic to research procedure for corrective action, then called for aircraft cart to cool brakes. Physical inspection, #1 and #2 hot to touch, hotter than #3 and #4. Lead mechanic contacted maintenance control and result was inspect further after brakes are cool. Second inspection I found no physical damage, fuse plugs, ok, tire pressures, ok. Research for hot brake not found, and dispatched aircraft. After dispatch, found reference for high energy stop. Called maintenance control and they found same reference, they said they would setup any further inspections or maintenance action.
