Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit - 107 F.3d 876 (8th Cir. 1997) Feb. 10, 1997. Submitted Feb. 4, 1997. Filed Feb. 10, 1997

Before McMILLIAN, FAGG, and LOKEN, Circuit Judge.

PER CURIAM.


Earl McAfee appeals the district court's judgment entered on an adverse jury verdict in McAfee's civil rights action. McAfee neither provided a trial transcript nor requested one at government expense. To the extent discernible, McAfee's claims of error relate to matters of evidence and purported judicial bias and are not subject to meaningful review without a trial transcript. See Fed. R. App. P. 10(b) (duty of appellant to order transcript); Meroney v. Delta Int'l Mach. Corp., 18 F.3d 1436, 1437 (8th Cir. 1994); Schmid v. United Bhd. of Carpenters & Joiners, 827 F.2d 384, 386 (8th Cir. 1987) (per curiam), cert. denied, 484 U.S. 1071 (1988). We thus dismiss McAfee's appeal.
