Before FAGG, BEAM, and LOKEN, Circuit Judges.
                           ___________

PER CURIAM.

      In this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action, Eddie Risdal alleged prison officials violated his
constitutional rights when they searched his cell and seized certain personal
possessions. After a bench trial, the district court1 entered judgment for the defendants

      1
        The Honorable Robert W. Pratt, United States District Judge for the Southern
District of Iowa.
in accordance with the court&s written findings. On appeal, Risdal did not provide a
trial transcript. Instead, he moved for preparation of one at government expense. After
careful review of the briefs and the district court file, we deny the motion for a
transcript and affirm the district court&s judgment. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.

      A true copy.

                     CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT.
