Frank Stephon Johnson, Plaintiff, v. Correct Care Solutions Corp., Mrs. M. Gaskins, Director Dr. Randolph, RN Shannon, Mrs. Nurse McLean, and Nurse Melissa, Defendants.


OPINION & ORDER

This matter is before the court on Frank Stephon Johnson's ("Johnson") pro se "Motion For District Court Transcript." (Mot. Tr., generally, ECF No. 124.) There are no transcripts in this case because there were no in-court hearings. (Transmittal Sheet, ECF No. 117.) Further, the records in Johnson's action were transmitted to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit after the court received Johnson's notice of appeal. (Id., ECF No. 117.) To the extent Johnson requests copies of records, a prisoner who requests free copies of records, whether it is a state case or a federal case, must show a particularized need for such records. Jones v. Superintendent, Va. State Farm, 460 F.2d 150, 152-53 (4th Cir. 1972), reh'g granted, 465 F.2d 1091, 1094 (4th Cir. 1972) (adhering to prior opinion and denying rehearing en banc); Gholson v. Trent, Nos. 94-6216, 94-6316, 94-6552, 1995 WL 8876, at *3 (4th Cir. Jan. 11, 1995) (unpublished) (applying Jones to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 petitioner). Johnson has not shown a particularized need for the records. Therefore, Johnson's motion is denied.

Therefore, it is

ORDERED that Johnson's motion for district court transcript, docket number 124, is denied.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
