MEMORANDUM*

2
Dudley Earl Thomas appeals pro se the district court's grant of judgment as a matter of law in favor of the defendants in his 42 U.S .C. § 1983 action and the denial of his motions for sanctions and reconsideration.  We have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 and dismiss.

3
Thomas contends that the district court erred by;  (1) entering a judgment as a matter of law in the defendants favor because the defendants lacked probable cause to arrest him for the sale of cocaine;  (2) denying his motion for sanctions because the defendants and their attorney offered perjured testimony at trial;  and (3) denying his motion for reconsideration.  Because the resolution of Thomas's issues require an examination of the trial transcript and Thomas failed to file the transcript, we are unable to review his claims.  See Fed.R.App.P. 10(b)(2) ("If the appellant intends to urge on appeal that a finding or conclusion is unsupported by the evidence or is contrary to the evidence, the appellant shall include in the record a transcript of all evidence relevant to such findings or conclusion);  see also Syncom Capital Corp. v. Wade, 924 F.2d 167, 169 (9th Cir.1991) (per curiam) (holding that if an appellant fails to supply a transcript of a district court proceeding, we may dismiss the appeal).

DISMISSED.
