Nichols, Chief Justice.
The petitioner filed a pro se petition for writ of mandamus in Fulton Superior Court seeking a free copy of the transcript of his burglary trial and related proceedings. He appeals from the trial court’s order which refused to grant his petition.
The trial court properly denied petitioner’s request for writ of mandamus. The trial judge noted that there is presently no action pending in or on appeal from the *585superior court regarding petitioner’s case, and the petition contains no allegation that petitioner is pursuing any post-conviction relief in any other jurisdiction. Further, the trial court correctly points out that there must be some justification or showing of necessity beyond a mere naked demand for the transcript. See United States v.
