Defendants-Appellants.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Mississippi
(3:97-CV-534-B)
April 13, 1999
Before DAVIS, DUHÉ and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Defendants-Appellants, Confederate Initiative, Inc. and Jimmy
D. Giles (“Defendants”), appeal the judgment for Plaintiff-
Appellant, Sons of Confederate Veterans, Inc. (“Plaintiff”), the

Defendants did not file a post-trial motion for judgment or
new trial based on insufficiency of the evidence. Further,
Defendant did not order a transcript of the trial proceedings.
Therefore, Defendants have failed to preserve any factual issue for
determination in this appeal.
Having reviewed the briefs, the portions of the record before
us and the applicable law, we discern no reversible error. We
therefore affirm the dismissal of Defendants' counterclaim, the
final judgment for Plaintiff and the attorney fee award.
Because this disposition of the merits moots Plaintiff's
motions to strike Defendants' briefs, we deny those motions as
moot. Defendants' motion to compel service of appellate documents
at their street address is likewise denied as moot.
AFFIRMED. MOTIONS DENIED.
