Robert Neal Hankins, Jr., Petitioner-appellant, v. Harry L. Allsbrook; Attorney General of North Carolina,respondents-appellees, 816 F.2d 672 (4th Cir. 1987)

Robert Neal Hankins, a North Carolina inmate, appeals the district court's denial of a free transcript of an evidentiary hearing held in connection with a habeas corpus petition. Hankins v. Allsbrook, C/A No. C-85-47-G (M.D.N.C., Oct. 3, 1985) (habeas relief denied), appeal dismissed, No. 85-7528 (4th Cir., April 11, 1986). Hankins claims to need the transcript in order to show that his attorney perjured himself at the hearing. We note, however, that any contradictions in the attorney's testimony were resolved in the attorney's favor when Hankins' habeas petition was denied.

The district court correctly determined that Hankins had not demonstrated a particularized need for the transcript, and we accordingly affirm the judgment of the district court. As our review of the record and other materials before us indicates that it would not significantly aid the decisional process, we dispense with oral argument.

AFFIRMED.
