Before HANSEN, MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges.
                                      ___________

PER CURIAM.

      Pierre L. Weaver, an Arkansas inmate, appeals from an adverse
judgment entered by the district court1 on a jury verdict in these
consolidated actions under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.                  On appeal, Weaver has
neither identified any basis of alleged error by the district
court,     nor   provided      a    trial    transcript       or   requested    one   at
government expense.         As we thus cannot review the jury's verdict,
we   dismiss     Weaver's      appeal.        See    Fed.   R.     App.   P.   10(b)(2)
(appellant urging finding or conclusion is unsupported by, or
contrary to, the evidence shall include in record transcript of all
such relevant evidence); Fed. R. App. P. 28(a) (appellant must
identify issues on appeal); Carter v. Lutheran Med. Ctr., 87 F.3d
1025,     1026   (8th   Cir.       1996)    (per    curiam)    (dismissing      pro   se
litigant's appeal because brief presented no question for appellate
court to decide, because, inter alia, it did not identify any basis
of alleged error by district court); cf. Branch v. Martin, 886 F.2d
1043, 1046 n.2 (8th Cir. 1989) (failure of pro se appellant to
provide transcript precludes meaningful review and ordinarily will
result in appeal's dismissal).
