v.
COUCH.
Supreme Court of Georgia.
Andrew Orr, pro se.
William P. Bailey, for appellee.
MARSHALL, Justice.
This appeal is from a judgment that denied the appellant's pro se application to the clerk of court for a copy of warrant, indictment, sentence and transcript of his conviction of armed robbery based upon a guilty plea, for which he is serving a 20-year sentence. The appellant alleges that he has not received any records from his lawyer, and needs them for an alleged pending habeas corpus proceeding. It is not alleged whether a direct appeal was taken.
"While an indigent is entitled to a copy of his trial transcript for a direct appeal of his conviction, such is not the case in collateral post-conviction proceedings." Holmes v.
