Before KING, HIGGINBOTHAM, and JONES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Appellant Simpson Lane, Texas state prisoner # 541742,
alleged in his civil rights complaint that appellee, Correctional
Officer John Taylor, used excessive force against him. Lane now
appeals the judgment based on the jury’s verdict in favor of
Taylor.
Lane contends that he is entitled to reversal as a result of
several errors which allegedly occurred just prior to and during
the trial. To determine whether Lane’s contentions have merit,
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.

this court would need to examine the trial transcript, which has
not been prepared.
In denying Lane’s request for preparation of the transcript
at government expense, the district court informed him that he
should address any further motions to this court. However, Lane
has not requested this court to order such preparation of the
transcript. Accordingly, Lane’s appeal is DISMISSED. See
Richardson v. Henry, 902 F.2d 414, 416 (5th Cir. 1990).
APPEAL DISMISSED.
