Former state employee brought action against employer, the California Department of Consumer Affairs, alleging violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act. The United States District Court for the Eastern District of California, David F. Levi, J., entered judgment on jury verdict in favor of employer, and employee appealed. The Court of Appeals held that employee's failure to supply a transcript of relevant district court proceedings warranted dismissal of her appeal.

with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 12101-12213, and the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, Cal. Gov't Code §§ 12900-12996. We dismiss.

Appellee contends that Gunn's appeal should be dismissed for her failure to comply with Fed. R.App. P. 10(b)(2). We agree.

"If the appellant intends to urge on appeal that a finding or conclusion is unsupported by the evidence or is contrary to the evidence, the appellant must include in the record a transcript of all evidence relevant to that finding or conclusion." Fed. R.App. P. 10(b)(2). "When an appellant fails to supply a transcript of a district court proceeding, we may dismiss the appellant's appeal or refuse to consider the appellant's argument." Portland Feminist Women's Health Ctr. v. Advocates for Life, Inc., 877 F.2d 787, 789 (9th Cir.1989).

Gunn contends that the defendant did not provide evidence to support the jury's verdict, yet Gunn has failed to supply this court with a transcript of the relevant district court proceedings. Although appellee's answering brief notified Gunn of the possibility of dismissal due to our lack of a transcript, Gunn failed to address this issue in her reply brief.

Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for failure to comply with Fed. R.App. P. 10(b)(2). See Syncom Capital Corp. v. Wade, 924 F.2d 167, 169 (9th Cir.1991) (per curiam).

DISMISSED.
