Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit January 13, 1984, 82-3029 (Rayfield Byrd v. Louie L. Wainwright)

PER CURIAM:

In this habeas proceeding, we consider whether an indigent prisoner has a constitutional right to a transcript in order to petition the state supreme court for discretionary direct review of his conviction.
