                        Filed: February 10, 1997
                              _____________

Before McMILLIAN, FAGG, and LOKEN, Circuit Judge.
                              _____________

PER CURIAM.

     Earl McAfee appeals the district court's judgment entered on an
adverse jury verdict in McAfee's civil rights action.       McAfee neither
provided a trial transcript nor requested one at government expense.     To
the extent discernible, McAfee's claims of error relate to matters of
evidence and purported judicial bias and are not subject to meaningful
review without a trial transcript.     See Fed. R. App. P. 10(b) (duty of
appellant to order transcript); Meroney v. Delta Int'l Mach. Corp., 18 F.3d
1436, 1437 (8th Cir. 1994); Schmid v. United Bhd. of Carpenters & Joiners,
827 F.2d 384, 386 (8th Cir. 1987) (per curiam), cert. denied, 484 U.S. 1071
(1988).   We thus dismiss McAfee's appeal.
A true copy.

     Attest:

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