EDWIN F. ALVANEZ,

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, at Greenbelt. Deborah K. Chasanow, Chief District Judge. (No. 8:07-cr-00326-DKC-2)

Submitted: April 22, 2010 Decided: April 27, 2010

Before TRAXLER, Chief Judge, and KING and AGEE, Circuit Judges.

Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Edwin F. Alvanez, Appellant Pro Se. James Marton Trusty, Assistant United States Attorney, Greenbelt, Maryland, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Edwin Alvanez appeals the district court’s order

denying his motion to retain a handwriting specialist. We have

reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly,

we deny Alvanez's motions for transcript at government expense

and to retain a handwriting specialist, and affirm for the

reasons stated by the district court. * United States v. Alvanez,

No. 8:07-cr-00326-DKC-2 (D. Md. Nov. 16, 2009). We dispense

with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are

adequately presented in the materials before the court and

argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED

* We decline to consider issues Alvanez raises in his informal brief which are not related to his present appeal.
