UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 95-3136
NSONSA KISALA,
Plaintiff - Appellant,
versus
JENNY CRAIG WEIGHT LOSS CENTRES, INCORPORATED,
Defendant - Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Virginia, at Alexandria. T. S. Ellis, III, District
Judge. (CA-95-520-A)
Submitted: July 23, 1996 Decided: July 30, 1996
Before WIDENER, NIEMEYER, and MICHAEL, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Nsonsa Kisala, Appellant Pro Se. James N. Foster, Jr., MCMAHON &
BERGER, St. Louis, Missouri, for Appellee.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:
Appellant appeals the from the jury's verdict in favor of the
Defendant on his Title VII claim of sexual discrimination. In sup-
port of this appeal, he alleges several trial errors and requests
provision of a transcript at government expense to aid him in the
development of issues raised by these errors. We find a transcript
to be unnecessary in determining the validity of Appellant's
asserted trial errors, but note that even were such a transcript
necessary, Appellant has failed to demonstrate a substantial
question warranting its preparation and provision at government
expense. See 28 U.S.C.A. ยง 753(f) (West 1995) (providing standard
for provision of transcript at government expense); Maloney v. E.
I. DuPont de Nemours & Co.,
396 F.2d 939, 940 (D.C. Cir. 1967)
(explaining that appellant bears the burden of demonstrating a
substantial question), cert. denied,
396 U.S. 1030 (1970). We
therefore deny Appellant's motion. We also find that none of Appel-
lant's allegations of error entitle him to either reversal of the
judgment or a new trial. Accordingly, we affirm the jury's verdict
in favor of the Defendant.* We dispense with oral argument because
the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the ma-
terials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
AFFIRMED
*
We also deny Appellant's motion for appointment of counsel.
