The Honorable J. Leon Holmes, Chief Judge, United States District Court for

the Eastern District of Arkansas.

PER CURIAM.

In these consolidated appeals, Mary Seals and Angela Harris appeal the adverse

judgment of the District Court1

 following a bench trial in their employmentdiscrimination actions. Seals has moved for preparation of a transcript at government

expense. We find that a transcript is unnecessary to our review because both

appellants briefed their appeal without a transcript and neither appellant challenges

the sufficiency of the evidence. See Bistram v. United States, 248 F.2d 343, 347–48

(8th Cir. 1957) (noting that a transcript at government expense was unnecessary where

the plaintiff did not challenge the sufficiency of the evidence to sustain the district

court’s findings). Having carefully reviewed the parties’ arguments and the

submissions on appeal, we find no basis for reversal. Accordingly, we affirm the

District Court’s judgment, see 8th Cir. R. 47B, and we deny Seals’s motion.
