*515 John Q. Smith ** (Smith) filed a complaint on behalf of the United States against Dow Chemical Co. (Dow), alleging that Dow required him and other employees to dump hazardous chemical residue from railroad tank cars in an unauthorized manner in violation of state and federal law. The district court granted Dow’s motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted under Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(6).

Smith argues on appeal that the district court erred in granting Dow’s motion to dismiss. However, Smith has not provided a transcript of the record containing the reasons for the district court’s judgment. Therefore, this court will not consider this issue. See Powell v. Estelle, 959 F.2d 22, 26 (5th Cir. 1992); United States v. Dunham Concrete Prods., Inc., 475 F.2d 1241, 1251 (5th Cir. 1973). Accordingly, Smith’s appeal is DISMISSED.
