Opinions

Jordan, Justice.

Appellant, serving a sentence in the Georgia penal system, filed a "motion for the transcript in cases (44466), (44467); and (44468).” While appellant’s notice of appeal states that the transcripts were needed to "perfect an appeal by a petition of habeas corpus,” no showing was made in the trial court as to the need or purpose for which the transcripts were sought. The trial court denied the petition.

On the basis of this record we affirm. Billups v. State, 234 Ga. 147, 148 (214 SE2d 884) (1975).

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concur, except Gunter and Ingram, JJ., who dissent.
