United States Court of Appeals FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT ___________ No. 98-1703 ___________ David Wayne Landry, * * Appellant, * * v. * Appeal from the United States * District Court for the Gary Grimes, Sheriff, Sebastian * Western District of Arkansas. County, * * [UNPUBLISHED] Appellee. * ___________ Submitted: May 6, 1999 Filed: June 2, 1999 ___________ Before McMILLIAN, LOKEN, and MURPHY, Circuit Judges. ___________ PER CURIAM. David Wayne Landry brought this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action against Sebastian County Sheriff Gary Grimes alleging violations of his constitutional rights arising out of his confinement in the Sebastian County Detention Center. After a bench trial, the district court1 found in favor of Grimes and entered judgment for him on all of Landry&s claims. Landry moved for a new trial arguing he was denied various opportunities to 1 The HONORABLE BEVERLY R. STITES, United States Magistrate Judge for the Western District of Arkansas, to whom the case was referred for final disposition by consent of the parties pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c). present or examine witnesses. The district court denied that motion. On appeal, Landry renews his arguments, asserting that he has a Sixth Amendment right to examine witnesses. He also argues the district court&s decision was not based on the true facts. We cannot review the evidence presented at trial or the district court&s refusal to call witnesses, because Landry did not provide a trial transcript as required by Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 10(b). See Van Treese v. Blome,
7 F.3d 729, 729 (8th Cir. 1993) (per curiam); see also Schmid v. United Bhd. of Carpenters,
827 F.2d 384, 386 (8th Cir.1987) (per curiam), cert. denied,
484 U.S. 1071(1988). Furthermore, the Sixth Amendment does not apply to witnesses in civil trials and Landry has not demonstrated that he was prejudiced. Accordingly, we affirm. A true copy. Attest: CLERK, U.S. COURT OF APPEALS, EIGHTH CIRCUIT. -2-
