Larry Sinclair Williams-El, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM: Petitioner filed a petition for a writ of mandamus seeking to have this court order the court reporter to transcribe and file in the district court transcripts of portions of his criminal trial: opening and closing statements, jury instructions, two jury ques- tions, and his sentencing hearing. Petitioner failed to show that he has a clear right to the relief sought and that no other remedy is available. In re First Fed. Sav. & Loan Ass'n, 860 F.2d 135, 138 (4th Cir. 1988); In re United Steelworkers, 595 F.2d 958, 960 (4th Cir. 1979). Accordingly, we deny the petition for a writ of manda- mus. 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.

PETITION DENIED
