Before JOLLY, HIGGINBOTHAM, and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     David Gray, Mississippi prisoner # 01440, appeals the

judgment in favor of the defendants following a bench trial in

     *
        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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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. 98-60726
                                -2-

his 42 U.S.C. § 1983 complaint.   Gray argues that the defendants

used excessive force during a shakedown, denied him a medical

examination and treatment, and conducted an unreasonable search

and seizure during the shakedown.

      We are unable to review Gray’s claims, which relate only to

the bench trial, because he has failed to order a transcript of

the trial.   Fed. R. App. P. 10(b)(2); Richardson v. Henry, 
902 F.2d 414
, 416 (5th Cir. 1990); Coats v. Pierre, 
890 F.2d 728
, 731

(5th Cir. 1989).   Accordingly, Gray’s appeal is DISMISSED.   5TH

CIR. R. 42.3.2.
