depends on a trial transcript.    Akins has failed to provide a

transcript.    His appeal is therefore DISMISSED AS FRIVOLOUS.    See

        Pursuant to Local Rule 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule
47.5.4.
