Gregory Alan Gibson, Bismarck, pro se.
Allen Kipp Albright (no appearance), Assistant State's Attorney, Fargo, for respondent and appellee.
¶1 Gregory Alan Gibson appealed from an order denying his request for court transcripts to prepare an application for post-conviction relief. We hold the court's denial of the request for transcripts is a nonappealable interlocutory order, and we dismiss the appeal.
