Before BEAM, LOKEN, and MORRIS SHEPPARD ARNOLD, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.

      Stacy Abram, Jr., appeals the district court’s1 judgment entered in favor of
defendants following a bench trial in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Because Mr. Abram
did not provide this court with a transcript, or adequately support his request for one
at government expense, meaningful review of the district court’s factual findings is


      1
       The Honorable James Maxwell Moody, United States District Judge for the
Eastern District of Arkansas.
precluded. See Fed. R. App. P. 10(b)(2); Van Treese v. Blome, 7 F.3d 729 (8th Cir.
1993) (per curiam). Accepting the district court’s factual findings as correct, we
conclude Mr. Abram has not shown the district court erred in entering judgment in
favor of defendants. Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
