    April 10, 1998
    Before JOLLY, JONES, and DUHÉ, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM:*
    Appellant Larry Lynn Wheeler, prisoner # 549477, appeals the
    dismissal with prejudice of his civil rights action, following a
    bench trial. The resolution of Wheeler’s arguments on appeal
    depends on a review of a transcript of that trial.      Wheeler has
    not provided a transcript.
    It is Wheeler’s responsibility to provide this court with a
    transcript.    See Fed. R. App. P. 10(b).   Wheeler’s failure to

    Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined
    that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
    except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
    R. 47.5.4.
    No. 96-41096
    -2-
    provide one prevents this court from reviewing his argument that
    the district court erred in finding that his Eighth Amendment
    rights were not violated.   See Richardson v. Henry, 
    902 F.2d 414
    ,
    415-16 (5th Cir. 1990).
    This appeal is without arguable merit and thus frivolous.
    Howard v. King, 
    707 F.2d 215
    , 219-20 (5th Cir. 1983).   Because
    the appeal is frivolous, it is hereby DISMISSED.   5th Cir.
    R. 42.2.
    APPEAL DISMISSED.
