Relies on Keller v. Prince George's County · Lee Powell v. Wj Estelle Tdc Harrison S

Decided 2002-02-26

PER CURIAM.

¶1 Willie B. Byron, Jr., appeals a magistrate judge’s final judgment denying several post-verdict motions. * We affirm. The record does not contain a transcript of the jury trial. Byron has the burden of including in the record on appeal a transcript of all parts of the proceedings material to the issues raised on appeal. Fed. R.App. P. 10(b); 4th Cir. Local R. 10(c). Appellants proceeding on appeal in forma pauperis are entitled to transcripts at government expense only in certain eircum *91 stances. 28 U.S.C. § 753(f) (1994). By failing to produce a transcript or to qualify for the production of a transcript at government expense, Byron has waived review of the issues on appeal which depend upon the transcript to show error. Powell v. Estelle, 959 F.2d 22, 26 (5th Cir.1992); Keller v. Prince George’s Co., 827 F.2d 952, 954 n. 1 (4th Cir.1987). We have reviewed the record before the court and find no reversible error. We therefore affirm the magistrate judge’s final judgment. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

¶2 AFFIRMED.

*

¶3 The parties consented to the jurisdiction of a magistrate judge under 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (1994).
