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.*
AFFIRMED
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.
* We decline to consider issues Alvanez raises in his
informal brief which are not related to his present appeal.
