Heading: Review of Jury Verdict

Text: 6 In addition to his request for a new trial based on his claim of ineffective assistance of counsel, Mr. Gray baldly asserts that the district court erred in entering judgment upon the special verdict. We interpret this as an appeal of the jury's verdict. An appellant who seeks review of a jury verdict has the responsibility to file the transcript of the lower court proceeding on appeal. Fed.R.App.P. 10; Fisher v. Krajewski, 873 F.2d 1057, 1069, (7th Cir.1989), cert. denied, 493 U.S. 1020 (1990). In this case, however, the appellant has failed to satisfy that obligation. Because the trial transcript is absent from the record on appeal, it is impossible for us to conduct a review.
