PER CURIAM.
Frederick James Davis appeals following the district court’s adverse entry of1
judgment on a jury verdict in his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action. Davis’s assertions of error
are vague and conclusory, however, see Milligan v. City of Red Oak, Iowa, 230 F.3d
355, 360 (8th Cir. 2000) (per curiam) (where party fails to support assertion with
argument or legal authority, issue is deemed waived), or require a trial transcript for
meaningful review, see Kelly v. Omaha Hous. Auth., 721 F.3d 560, 562 (8th Cir.
2013) (it is appellant’s duty to order trial transcript; it is important to reviewing court
that appellant bring before court all parts of proceedings below necessary for
determination as to validity of claimed error). The judgment is affirmed. See 8th Cir.
R. 47B.
