PER CURIAM:* Lambert R.

Because Lucious had no appeal or habeas petition pending when he filed his motion, he is not entitled to a copy of his indictment. Walker v. United States, 424 F.2d 278, 278-79 (5th Cir. 1970).

R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.
