GREGORY JOHNSON,
Plaintiff-Appellant,
versus
JEFF BLOOD,
Defendant-Appellee.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Middle District of Louisiana
USDC No. 93-CV-910-D
--------------------
June 18, 2002
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DAVIS, and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Gregory Johnson (“Johnson”), Louisiana state prisoner
#108327, appeals the jury verdict in favor of Jeff Blood
(“Blood”) in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 civil rights action where he
alleged that Blood used excessive force. On appeal, Johnson
reargues the merits of his underlying constitutional claim.
Johnson also raises errors which allegedly occurred at his trial.
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
No. 01-31091
-2-
Johnson’s motion for leave to file a supplemental brief is
GRANTED.
Johnson has failed to provide a trial transcript, as
directed by FED. R. APP. P. 10(b)(2). Previously, this court
denied Johnson’s motion requesting a copy of the trial transcript
at the Government’s expense because he failed to meet the
requirements of 28 U.S.C. § 753(f). Because Johnson failed to
provide this court with a transcript of the trial, this court
will not consider his arguments, and the appeal is DISMISSED.
See FED R. APP. P. 3(a)(2); Richardson v. Henry, 902 F.2d 414, 416
(5th Cir. 1990); 5TH CIR. R. 42.2.
APPEAL DISMISSED.
