M.D.N.C.
AFFIRMED IN PART AND DISMISSED IN PART.
Before ERVIN, Chief Judge, and PHILLIPS and WILKINSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:

1
Restoney Robinson appeals the dismissal of his 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2254 petition and the denial of his post-judgment motions for transcription and identification.  Regarding the dismissal of the Sec. 2254 petition, Robinson's notice of appeal is outside of the 30-day limitations period, see Fed.R.App.P. 4(a), and thus is not before us.  Regarding the denial of the post-judgment motions, we find that the appeal is timely and that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying the motions.

2
Accordingly, we deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis, deny a certificate of probable cause, dismiss the appeal relating to the dismissal of the Sec. 2254 petition, and affirm the denial of the post-judgment motions.  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.
