PER CURIAM:

     Appellant appeals from the district court's order entering

judgment on the jury verdict in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1994) action.

The record does not contain a transcript of the jury trial. Appel-

lant has the burden of including in the record on appeal a tran-

script 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 circumstances. 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,

Appellant 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.), cert. denied, 506 U.S. 1025 (1992); Keller v. Prince

George's County, 827 F.2d 952, 954 n.1 (4th Cir. 1987). We have re-

viewed the record before the court and the district court's opinion

and find no reversible error. We therefore affirm the district

court's order. 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.
