Amber Ybarra appeals following the district court s1 adverse entry of judgment on a jury verdict in her 42 U.S.C. ยง 1983 action. Having carefully reviewed the parties submissions and the record before us on appeal, we conclude that Ybarra s claims are not susceptible to meaningful review because she failed to provide a transcript of the trial proceedings. See Fed. R. App. P. 10(b)(1) (discussing appellant s duty to order transcript); Schmid v. United Bhd. of Carpenters & Joiners of Am., 827 F.2d 384, 385 86 (8th Cir. 1987) (per curiam) (where pro se appellant did not order trial transcript, appellate court could not review challenges to evidentiary rulings or to sufficiency of evidence). Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B. ______________________________ 1 The Honorable James M. Moody, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas. -2-
