2 PER CURIAM:

John A. Goff, Jr. and Carrie A. Goff appeal the

magistrate judge’s order entering judgment for Defendants in

accordance with the jury’s verdict. * The Goffs brought suit

alleging claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006) and Maryland law.

The Goffs have not provided a transcript, and they fail to

establish a basis to have the transcript prepared at government

expense. 28 U.S.C. § 753(f) (2006). We have reviewed the

existing record and the issues the Goffs raise on appeal, and

find no grounds for appellate relief. Accordingly, we affirm

the magistrate judge’s order. Goff v. Baltimore County, No.

1:08-cv-00557-SKG (D. Md. Feb. 6, 2009). We dispense with oral

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately

presented in the materials before the court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED

* The parties consented to the jurisdiction of a magistrate judge pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) (2006).
