Case: 19-40282      Document: 00515771591           Page: 2    Date Filed: 03/09/2021

                                     No. 19-40282

          Brandon Richardson, Texas prisoner # 740705, has appealed the
   judgment dismissing his civil rights complaint following a jury trial.
   Richardson challenges the sufficiency of the evidence supporting the jury’s
   rejection of his claims that the defendants acted with deliberate indifference
   to his serious medical condition and used excessive force against him during
   a use-of-force incident. He also challenges the district court’s evidentiary
   rulings, and he asserts that his counsel rendered ineffective assistance.
          As the appellant, Richardson is responsible for supporting his
   appellate issues with pertinent transcripts of proceedings in the district court,
   and he has failed to do so. Fed. R. App. P. 10(b)(1)(A), (2); Richardson v.
   Henry, 902 F.2d 414, 415-16 (5th Cir. 1990). Richardson’s unsupported
   appellate issues are subject to dismissal. See Richardson, 902 F.2d at 416. The
   asserted errors by counsel do not present an appealable issue in this civil case.
   See Sanchez v. U.S. Postal Serv., 785 F.2d 1236, 1237 (5th Cir. 1986).
          The appeal is DISMISSED.
