Edwin F. Alvanez, Appellant Pro Se. James Marton Trusty, Assistant United States Attorney, Greenbelt, Maryland, for Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM:

Edwin Alvanez appeals the district court’s order denying his motion to retain a handwriting specialist. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we deny Alvanez's motions for transcript at government expense and to retain a handwriting specialist, and affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. * United States v. Alvanez, No. 8:07-cr-00326-DKC-2 (D. Md. Nov. 16, 2009). 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
