TRANSCRIPT UNDER SEAL

Petitioner is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a petition for writ of habeas corpus 

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254. 

On April 5, 2024, the Court directed Petitioner to produce a copy of the transcript of the 

September 18, 2018, in camera Marsden hearing or state why he is unable to produce it and 

declare his position on unsealing the transcript. (Doc. 26.) On April 26, 2024, Petitioner filed a 

response to the order stating he is not in possession of the transcript and is therefore unable to 

provide it. (Doc. 27.) He agrees that the transcripts are necessary to the resolution of his claims.
