PER CURIAM:

Edwin Alvanez appeals the district court’s order 

denying his motion to retain a handwriting specialist. We have 

reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, 

we deny Alvanez's motions for transcript at government expense 

and to retain a handwriting specialist, and affirm for the 

reasons stated by the district court.*

AFFIRMED

 United States v. Alvanez, 

No. 8:07-cr-00326-DKC-2 (D. Md. Nov. 16, 2009). We dispense 

with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are 

adequately presented in the materials before the court and 

argument would not aid the decisional process.

 * We decline to consider issues Alvanez raises in his 

informal brief which are not related to his present appeal.
