Appellate Case: 14-3297 Page: 1 Date Filed: 03/30/2015 Entry ID: 4259513 
Before WOLLMAN, MURPHY, and GRUENDER, Circuit Judges.

____________

PER CURIAM.

In this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action, Arkansas inmate Lisa Murphy appeals the

district court’s judgment entered upon a jury verdict in favor of the defendant 1

correctional officer on Murphy’s excessive-force claim. Having carefully considered

the arguments that Murphy raises in this appeal, we conclude that she has not

provided any basis for reversal. See Sanders v. Hobbs, 773 F.3d 186, 190 (8th Cir.

2014) (court of appeals does not assess credibility of witnesses or weigh evidence).2

Accordingly, we affirm, see 8th Cir. R. 47B, and we deny Murphy’s motion for

appointment of counsel.

______________________________

The Honorable Joe J. Volpe, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern 1

District of Arkansas, to whom the case was referred for final disposition by consent

of the parties pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).

Further, Murphy’s failure to provide a trial transcript prevents meaningful 2

review of issues regarding witness testimony. See Fed. R. App. P. 10(b) (appellant's

duty to order transcript); Kelly v. Omaha Housing Authority, 721 F.3d 560, 562 (8th

Cir. 2013) (appellant must furnish reviewing court with all parts of proceedings

below necessary for determination of validity of any claimed error), cert. denied, 134

S. Ct. 1010 (2014).
