Assistant United States Attorney, Norfolk, Virginia, for Appellee.

See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Scott Anthony Martin appeals from the district court’s order

denying his request for preparation of transcripts at government

expense in order to prepare a motion under 28 U.S.C.A. § 2255 (West

Supp. 2001).   We have reviewed the record and the district court’s

order and find no reversible error.       Accordingly, we affirm on the

reasoning of the district court.       United States v. Martin, No. CR-

00-82 (E.D. Va. filed July 13, 2001; entered July 16, 2001).        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
