Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Mississippi
USDC No. 2:00-CV-255-PG
--------------------
Before JOLLY, JONES, and WIENER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Ronnie Lee Massingille, a Mississippi prisoner (# K5760),
appeals the magistrate judge’s judgment in favor of the
defendants following a non-jury trial of Massingille’s 42 U.S.C.
§ 1983 claims. Massingille argues that the magistrate judge’s
rejection of his claims was not supported by the trial evidence
and testimony. He also maintains that the magistrate judge
committed errors in conducting the trial. Because Massingille’s
failure to provide this court with a transcript of the trial

prevents this court from reviewing these appellate arguments, the
appeal is DISMISSED. See FED. R. APP. P. 10(b)(2); Richardson v.
Henry, 902 F.2d 414, 416 (5th Cir. 1990). Massingille’s
remaining claims are frivolous. His contention that the
magistrate judge erred in denying his pretrial motion for summary
judgment is not cognizable. See Black v. J. I. Case Co., 22 F.3d
568, 570 (5th Cir. 1994) (“this [c]ourt will not review the
pretrial denial of a motion for summary judgment where on the
basis of a subsequent full trial on the merits final judgment is
entered adverse to the movant”). He also maintains that he was
deprived of his right to a jury trial, but the record reflects
that he waived that right by failing to assert it. See FED. R.
CIV. P. 38(b), (d).
Massingille’s motion for appointment of counsel is DENIED.
APPEAL DISMISSED; MOTION DENIED.
