Before WOLLMAN, GRUENDER, and BENTON, Circuit Judges.
                       ____________

PER CURIAM.
       Amber Ybarra appeals following the district court’s1 adverse entry of judgment
on a jury verdict in her 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Having carefully reviewed the
parties’ submissions and the record before us on appeal, we conclude that Ybarra’s
claims are not susceptible to meaningful review because she failed to provide a
transcript of the trial proceedings. See Fed. R. App. P. 10(b)(1) (discussing
appellant’s duty to order transcript); Schmid v. United Bhd. of Carpenters & Joiners
of Am., 827 F.2d 384, 385–86 (8th Cir. 1987) (per curiam) (where pro se appellant did
not order trial transcript, appellate court could not review challenges to evidentiary
rulings or to sufficiency of evidence). Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the
district court. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
                         ______________________________

        The Honorable James M. Moody, United States District Judge for the Eastern
