ORDER

This matter is before the court upon petitioner’s Motion for Transcript to be Filed at
Government’s Expense. This motion was filed on February 8, 2013.
Fourth Circuit precedent requires a prisoner to show “particularized need” before the
court can require the Government to provide a transcript at its expense. Petitioner has not
alleged any such need in his Motion for Transcript. It is therefore
ORDERED that petitioner’s Motion for Transcript is DENIED without prejudice.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.

David C. Norton
United States District Judge
