U. S. v. VINES, 06-3116 (D.C. Cir. 6-8-2007)

Per Curiam

Upon consideration of appellant's motion for transcripts, styled as "Motion to Reconsider Extending Time or Abatement of Time;" this court's order filed March 6, 2007, directing appellant to file a statement of issues to be presented on appeal, as well as a statement of which transcripts he seeks and their relevance to the issues on appeal; and appellant's statement of issues, and the supplement thereto, it is

ORDERED that the motion for transcripts be denied. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 753(f), an indigent prisoner may obtain a transcript at the expense of the United States "in proceedings brought under section 2255 . . . if the trial judge or a circuit judge certifies that the suit or appeal is not frivolous and that the transcript is needed to decide the issue presented by the suit or appeal." Appellant, however, has not identified which transcripts he seeks, nor demonstrated a particularized need for a transcript in connection with the issues he intends to raise on appeal.
