PER CURIAM.
Roosevelt Scott appeals from the district court’s1 judgment for defendants after
a jury trial in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 lawsuit. On appeal, Scott has neither identified

District of Iowa, to whom the case was referred for final disposition by consent of the
parties pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).
any alleged error by the district court nor provided a trial transcript or requested one
at government expense. See Fed. R. App. P. 10(b) (discussing appellant’s duty to
order transcript); Primary Care Investors, Seven, Inc. v. PHP Healthcare Corp., 986
F.2d 1208, 1212 (8th Cir.1993) (unspecific assertions of error are waived); Schmid
v. United Bhd. of Carpenters & Joiners, 827 F.2d 384, 386 (8th Cir.1987) (per
curiam) (claims of error related to verdict being against weight of evidence are
unreviewable without transcript), cert. denied, 484 U.S. 1071 (1988). Because this
was a civil trial, Scott’s argument that he was denied effective assistance of counsel
fails. See Glick v. Henderson, 855 F.2d 536, 541 (8th Cir. 1988).
Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
