United States Court of Appeals FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT ___________ No. 09-3424 ___________ Mary Seals, Appellant, v. American Greetings Corporation, Appellee. ___________ * * * * * * * * * Appeals from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas. No. 09-3483 ___________ Angela Harris, Appellant, v. American Greetings Corporation, Appellee. * * * * * * * * * [UNPUBLISHED] ___________ Submitted: June 1, 2010 Filed: June 11, 2010 ___________ Before MELLOY, BOWMAN, and SMITH, Circuit Judges. ___________ PER CURIAM. In these consolidated appeals, Mary Seals and Angela Harris appeal the adverse judgment of the District Court1 following a bench trial in their employmentdiscrimination actions. Seals has moved for preparation of a transcript at government expense. We find that a transcript is unnecessary to our review because both appellants briefed their appeal without a transcript and neither appellant challenges the sufficiency of the evidence. See Bistram v. United States, 248 F.2d 343, 347 48 (8th Cir. 1957) (noting that a transcript at government expense was unnecessary where the plaintiff did not challenge the sufficiency of the evidence to sustain the district court s findings). Having carefully reviewed the parties arguments and the submissions on appeal, we find no basis for reversal. Accordingly, we affirm the District Court s judgment, see 8th Cir. R. 47B, and we deny Seals s motion. ______________________________ 1 The Honorable J. Leon Holmes, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas. -2-
