Submitted: August 6, 1999
Filed: August 11, 1999
___________
Before McMILLIAN, RICHARD S. ARNOLD, and HANSEN, Circuit Judges.
___________
PER CURIAM.
Robert V. Steinhilber and Johnita F. Steinhilber appeal from the final judgment
entered in the District Court1 for the Western District of Missouri, as well as the denial
of several pre-trial and post-trial motions, following a jury verdict in this class action
brought against them under the Interstate Land Sales Full Disclosure Act (ILSA), 15
U.S.C. § 1703 et seq. For the reasons discussed below, we affirm the judgment of the
district court.
We find that the Steinhilbers were not denied their right to a jury trial in the
district court, as the remedies sought and granted against them were equitable in nature.
See Kerr v. Charles F. Vatterott & Co., No. 98-1677, 1999 WL 493996, at *5 (8th Cir.
July 12, 1999); Tri-State Hotels, Inc. v. FDIC, 79 F.3d 707, 715 (8th Cir. 1996). We
are unable to review other claims raised by the Steinhilbers because they have not
submitted necessary transcripts, see Fed. R. App. P. 10(b)(2); Schmid v. United Bhd.
