United States v. Webb

54 F. App'x 588

• Court: Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
• Decided: January 23, 2003
• Docket: 02-7447
• Status: Unpublished

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

William Eugene Webb appeals from the district court’s order affirming the order of the magistrate judge denying his motion for production of a trial transcript at Government expense. Webb seeks the transcript to aid his preparation of a 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (2000) motion. However, as there is no § 2255 motion pending, Webb is not entitled to a free transcript. 28 U.S.C. § 753(f) (2000); see also United States v. Horvath, 157 F.3d 131, 132-33 (2nd Cir. 1998). The district court will examine the file and records of the case when the motion is filed. Rule 4(b), Rules Governing § 2255 Proceedings. Webb is not required to set forth his claims in great detail in filing the § 2255 motion. Rule 2(b), Rules Governing § 2255 Proceedings. Therefore, we affirm the order of the district court. 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.
