Dismissed by unpublished per curiam opinion. 2 William Britton, Appellant Pro Se. William Everett Moore, Jr., BASS, BRYANT & MOORE, Raleigh, North Carolina, for Appellee. 3 Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Appellant appeals from the district court's order entering judgment on the jury verdict finding that he infringed Plaintiff's intellectual property and trade practice rights and awarding damages to Plaintiff. The record does not contain a transcript of the jury trial. Appellant has the burden of including in the record on appeal a transcript of all parts of the proceedings material to the issues raised on appeal. Fed. R. App. P. 10(b); 4th Cir. Local R. 10(c). By failing to produce a transcript, Appellant has waived review of the issues on appeal which depend upon the transcript to show error. Powell v. Estelle, 959 F.2d 22, 26 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 506 U.S. 1025 (1992); Keller v. Prince George's Co., 827 F.2d 952, 954 n.1 (4th Cir. 1987). As for the claims that can be considered without a transcript, we have reviewed the record before the court and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Appel- lant's application to proceed in forma pauperis and dismiss the appeal. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. DISMISSED 4 5
