Annotate this CaseBefore McMILLIAN, HANSEN, and MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.
Dale Robert Roland, an Arkansas inmate, appeals from the magistrate judge's1 judgment in favor of defendants in this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. On appeal, Roland has neither provided nor requested a trial transcript. See Fed. R. App. P. 10(b). We are not convinced that Roland's arguments related to the factual findings are sufficiently meritorious to justify preparation of a transcript at government expense. See Schmid v. United Bhd. of Carpenters, 827 F.2d 384, 386 (8th Cir. 1987) (per curiam), cert. denied, 484 U.S. 1071 (1988).
Based upon the record before us, we find no error that would require reversal.
Accordingly, we affirm.
The Honorable John F. Forster, Jr., United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of Arkansas, to whom the case was referred for final disposition by consent of the parties pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c)
