Terry Charlie Saltz, Appellant Pro Se. Kenneth Davis Bell, OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY, Charlotte, North Carolina, for Appellee.

Before NIEMEYER, HAMILTON, and MOTZ, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

1

Appellant appeals from the district court's order denying relief on his motion filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2255 (1994), as amended by Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996, Pub.L. No. 104-132, 110 Stat. 1214. We have reviewed the record and the district court's opinion and find no reversible error. Appellant failed to provide a transcript of the Fed.R.Crim.P. 11 hearing. See Fed. R.App. P. 10(b)(2); Powell v. Estelle, 959 F.2d 22, 26 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 506 U.S. 1025 (1992). Moreover, Appellant has failed to state a substantial claim justifying preparation of a transcript at government expense. 28 U.S.C. § 753(f) (1994). Consequently, we affirm the district court's order. 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
