Douglas Randall O'Neal, an Oklahoma prisoner, brought this 42 U.S.C. § 1983 action against officials of Benton County, Arkansas, claiming that his rights were violated when the Benton County Sheriff's Office improperly arrested him and detained him for nine hours on a misdemeanor warrant out of Oklahoma. The magistrate judge1 held a trial on the matter, and dismissed O'Neal's complaint. O'Neal appeals.

2

Upon our review of the record before us, we conclude that the magistrate judge correctly dismissed O'Neal's complaint. To the extent O'Neal asks us to review the magistrate judge's factual findings, we note that O'Neal has neither provided us with a transcript nor requested preparation of one at government expense. See Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 10(b); Van Treese v. Blome, 7 F.3d 729 (8th Cir.1993) (per curiam). Accordingly, we affirm. See 8th Cir. R. 47B.
