ORDER
DUDLEY H. BOWEN, District Judge.
Presently before the Court is Defendant Manuel Hrneith's motion for a free copy of the docket sheet, the plea agreement, the judgment and commitment order, and the transcript of his sentencing hearing for the above-captioned case.
Hrneith may not obtain a free transcript unless he shows that the transcript is necessary to decide an issue presented by suit or appeal. See 28 U.S.C. 753(f); see also Hansen v. United States, 956 F.2d 245, 248 (11th Cir. 1992); Walker v. United States, 424 F.2d 278, 278-79 (5th Cir. 1970) (stating that "[a] federal prisoner is not entitled to obtain copies of court records at Government expense for the purpose of searching the record for possible error"). Here, Hrneith does not have an appeal or post-conviction collateral attack pending, nor has he provided a specific reason for seeking the documents. Accordingly, Hrneith's request for free copies of the docket sheet, the plea agreement, and the transcript of his sentencing hearing is hereby DENIED.1 Nevertheless, as a courtesy, the Clerk is DIRECTED to send a copy of the judgment and commitment order (doc. no. 30) to Hrneith with the service copy of this Order.
