"An indigent is not entitled to a transcript at government expense without a showing of need, merely to comb the record in the hope of discovering some flaw." United States v. Shoaf, 341 F.2d 832, 833-34 (4th Cir. 1964). Carroll has failed to show a particularized need for the transcript. To the extent Carroll's letter could be construed as a motion to obtain transcripts without charge, the motion [D.E. 34] is DENIED.
SO ORDERED.
