    UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Bill Patrick CONNORS, Sr., Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 89-35411.
    United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
    Submitted April 10, 1990 .
    Decided June 12, 1990.
    Bill Patrick Connors, Sr., Duluth, Minn., in pro per.
    Carl E. Rostad, Asst. U.S. Atty., Great Falls, Mont., for plaintiff-appellee.
    
      Before WALLACE, HALL and WIGGINS, Circuit Judges.
    
      
       The panel finds this case appropriate for submission without oral argument pursuant to Ninth Circuit Rule 34-4 and Fed. R. App. P. 34(a).
    
   PER CURIAM:

Bill Patrick Connors appeals the district court’s denial of his second motion to provide a copy of the trial transcript at government expense. We affirm.

A prisoner proceeding in forma pauperis on a habeas corpus petition is entitled to receive at government expense copies of court documents. 28 U.S.C. § 2250 (1982). Although Connors is indigent, he has not filed a habeas petition, and therefore is not entitled to copies of his trial transcript at government expense until he does so. See Walker v. United States, 424 F.2d 278, 278-79 (5th Cir.1970).

AFFIRMED.
