PER CURIAM:
John A. Goff, Jr. and Carrie A. Goff appeal the
magistrate judge’s order entering judgment for Defendants in
accordance with the jury’s verdict.* The Goffs brought suit
alleging claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) and Maryland law.
The Goffs have not provided a transcript, and they fail to
establish a basis to have the transcript prepared at government
expense. 28 U.S.C. § 753(f) (2006). We have reviewed the
existing record and the issues the Goffs raise on appeal, and
find no grounds for appellate relief. Accordingly, we affirm
the magistrate judge’s order. Goff v. Baltimore County, No.
1:08-cv-00557-SKG (D. Md. Feb. 6, 2009). 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.
AFFIRMED
* The parties consented to the jurisdiction of a magistrate
judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (2006).
