Heading: Alleged Inaccuracies in the Transcript of the Proceedings

Text: This Court reviews a district court's refusal to hold an evidentiary hearing for abuse of discretion. [10] Alley v. Bell, 307 F.3d 380, 389 (6th Cir.2002).
Kuehne, proceeding pro se, alleges that the district court erred in failing to correct alleged inaccuracies or alterations of the transcripts of proceedings in his trial. This claim is without merit. Kuehne alleges that the district court did not comply with the requirements set forth in 28 U.S.C. § 753(b), which requires that [e]ach session of the court and every other proceeding designated by rule or order of the court or by one of the judges shall be recorded verbatim by shorthand, mechanical means, electronic sound recording, or any other method, subject to regulations promulgated by the Judicial Conference and subject to the discretion and approval of the judge. We find that Kuehne is not entitled to a remand on this issue because he has not identified any of the inaccuracies alleged and he did not avail himself of the opportunity to correct the record when invited to do so by the district court.
