1 For clerical purposes, the motion has been filed under the docket number assigned to the
direct appeal of the judgment which was lodged in this court. This court decides motions for
transcripts because such motions are considered to be requests for postconviction relief. See
Williams v. State, 273 Ark. 315, 619 S.W.2d 628 (1981) (per curiam).

Opinion Delivered
March 9, 2006
PRO SE MOTION FOR PHOTOCOPY OF
TRANSCRIPT AT PUBLIC EXPENSE [CIRCUIT
COURT OF DESHA COUNTY, CR 2003114A,
HON. DON GLOVER JUDGE]
MOTION DENIED
PER CURIAM
Carl Lowe was found guilty of aggravated robbery, theft of property, kidnapping, and felon
in possession of a firearm. He was sentenced as a habitual offender to an aggregate term of life
imprisonment plus 110 years’ imprisonment. This court affirmed. Lowe v. State, 357 Ark. 501, ___
S.W.3d ___ (2004). Lowe, who contends that he is indigent, now seeks at public expense a copy of
a trial transcript for case number CR 200312. 1
As grounds for the request, petitioner Lowe asserts that the transcript is needed for “a proper
defense and a fair trial.” He does not contend that there is a particular postconviction remedy
available to him at this time. The case number he references would appear to be for a separate
conviction on a charge of kidnapping in Desha County that occurred on the same day as the
convictions appealed to this court. The conviction on CR 200312 was not appealed.
Because the conviction was not appealed, no record was lodged in this court. The transcript
petitioner requests is not available to us in order to provide a copy to him. Because we do not have
the transcript, and because there is no ground to grant the request, we must deny the motion.
