United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
Submitted Jan. 9, 1997.Decided Jan. 23, 1997.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Florence.  William B. Traxler, Jr., District Judge.  (CA-93-2161-21)
Virgil Howard, Appellant Pro Se.
George Conrad Derrick, BRIDGES, ORR, DERRICK & ERVIN, Florence, South Carolina, for Appellee.
Before HALL and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges, and PHILLIPS, Senior Circuit Judge.
PER CURIAM:

1
Appellant appeals the district court's order entering judgment for Appellee in accordance with the jury's verdict.  The record does not contain a transcript of the trial.  Appellant has the burden of including in the record on appeal a transcript of all parts of the proceedings material to the issues raised on appeal.  Fed. R.App. P. 10(b);  4th Cir.  Local R. 10(c).  Appellants proceeding on appeal in forma pauperis are entitled to transcripts at government expense only in certain circumstances.  28 U.S.C. § 753(f) (1994).  By failing to produce a transcript or to qualify for the production of a transcript at government expense, Appellant has waived review of the issues on appeal which depend upon the transcript to show error.  Powell v. Estelle, 959 F.2d 22, 26 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 506 U.S. 1025 (1992);  Keller v. Prince George's Co., 827 F.2d 952, 954 n. 1 (4th Cir.1987).  We have reviewed the record before the court and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error.  We therefore affirm the district court's order.  We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.
