United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit.

September 2, 1970.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

George Edward Bentley, in pro. per.

Robert B. Krupansky, U. S. Atty., Robert W. Jones, First Asst. U. S. Atty., Cleveland, Ohio, for appellee.

Before EDWARDS and McCREE, Circuit Judges, and KALBFLEISCH, District Judge.


EDWARDS, Circuit Judge.

The sole question posed by this appeal is whether or not appellant is entitled to be furnished a copy of the transcript of his trial in order to search for as yet unasserted grounds for filing a motion for postconviction relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (1964). Appellant relies for an affirmative answer upon Griffin v. Illinois, 351 U.S. 12, 76 S.Ct. 585, 100 L.Ed. 891 (1955), and its progeny.
