    BODDIE v. THE STATE.
    (386 SE2d 362)
    Decided December 5, 1989
    Reconsideration denied December 20, 1989.
    Dan Boddie, pro se.
    
    
      Douglas C. Pullen, District Attorney, for appellee.
   Gregory, Justice.

Appellant Dan Boddie, pro se, appeals from the denial of his action for a writ of mandamus to compel the State to provide him with a copy of the record of his original conviction. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying the writ because there is no absolute constitutional or statutory right to a transcript for use in a collateral attack on a conviction. United States v. MacCollom, 426 U. S. 317 (96 SC 2086, 48 LE2d 666) (1976); Judge v. State, 255 Ga. 174 (338 SE2d 282) (1985).

Judgment affirmed.

All the Justices concur.
