GREGORY, Justice.
Appellant Dan Boddie, pro se, appeals from the denial of his action for a writ of mandamus to compel the State to provide him with a copy of the record of his original conviction. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying the writ because there is no absolute constitutional or statutory right to a transcript for use in a collateral attack on a conviction. United States v. MacCollom, 426 U.S. 317 ( 96 S.C. 2086, 48 L.Ed.2d 666) (1976); Judge v. State, 255 Ga. 174 ( 338 S.E.2d 282) (1985).
Judgment affirmed. All the Justices concur.
DECIDED DECEMBER 5, 1989 — RECONSIDERATION DENIED DECEMBER 20, 1989.
