PER CURIAM:
Raymond Garcia appeals the magistrate judge’s orders * entering judgment in favor
of Defendants in Garcia’s action in which he alleged the use of excessive force during his
arrest. The record does not contain a transcript of the jury trial. An appellant has the
burden of including in the record on appeal a transcript of all parts of the proceedings
material to the issues raised on appeal. Fed. R. App. P. 10(b); 4th Cir. R. 10(c). An
appellant proceeding on appeal in forma pauperis is entitled to transcripts at government
expense only in certain circumstances. 28 U.S.C. § 753(f) (2012). By failing to produce
a transcript or to qualify for the production of a transcript at government expense, Garcia
has waived review of the issues on appeal that depend upon the transcript to show error.
See generally Fed. R. App. P. 10(b)(2); Keller v. Prince George’s Cty., 827 F.2d 952, 954
n.1 (4th Cir. 1987). Moreover, because Garcia’s informal brief does not challenge the
basis for the magistrate judge’s disposition, Garcia has forfeited appellate review of the
court’s orders. See 4th Cir. R. 34(b) (providing that review is confined to the issues
raised in the Appellant’s brief.); Williams v. Giant Food Inc., 370 F.3d 423, 430 n.4 (4th
Cir. 2004). Accordingly, we affirm the magistrate judge’s judgment. We deny Garcia’s
motion for appointment of counsel, and we dispense with oral argument because the facts
*
The parties consented to the jurisdiction of a magistrate judge pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 636(c) (2012).

and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and
argument would not aid the decisional process.
AFFIRMED
