UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 06-7544
KHOSROW PARMAEI,
Petitioner - Appellant,
versus
CHRISTIANE N. SMITH, Administratrix of the
Estate of Meg N. Parmaei, deceased,
Respondent - Appellee.
Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western
District of North Carolina, at Asheville. Graham C. Mullen, Senior
District Judge. (1:06-cv-00224)
Submitted: May 31, 2007 Decided: June 4, 2007
Before WILKINSON, TRAXLER, and GREGORY, Circuit Judges.
Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Khosrow Parmaei, Appellant Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Khosrow Parmaei appeals the district court’s order
denying relief sought under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2000). This code
provision permits state prisoners to challenge the
constitutionality of their incarceration. The district court
properly found that Parmaei’s action, which challenged a state
court’s civil judgment against him in a wrongful death case, was
unrelated to Parmaei’s custody status and was not properly
characterized as a habeas action. Accordingly, we deny his motion
to prepare a trial transcript at Government expense and affirm for
the reasons stated by the district court. Parmaei v. Smith, No.
1:06-cv-00224 (W.D.N.C. Aug. 3, 2006). 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.
AFFIRMED
