PER CURIAM:

            Stanley Lorenzo Williams appeals the district court’s

text order denying his Motion for Preparation of the State Court

Stenographic     Transcript       at   State   Expense     and   Request   for   an

Expedited Ruling on the Matter Given the Pending Appeal.                         We

have    reviewed       the   record      and   find   no    reversible     error.

Accordingly, we deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis, deny a

certificate of appealability, deny Williams’ motion to expand

the    record,   and    dismiss    the    appeal.     We   dispense   with   oral

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately

presented in the materials before this court and argument would

not aid the decisional process.

                                                                       DISMISSED
