PER CURIAM:
OPINION
Advertisement
Thomas R. Boyer, Jr., appeals from the district court's order denying relief on his claim that his right of access to the courts was infringed upon by the unavailability of his guilty plea transcript. To the extent that Boyer's claim attacked the fact or duration of his confinement, relief was properly denied because Boyer did not exhaust his state remedies. 28 U.S.C. § 2254(b); Preiser v. Rodriguez, 411 U.S. 475 (1973). To the extent that Boyer raised a claim under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (1988), we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. Boyer v. Maryland, No. CA-92-2948-B (D. Md. Jan. 25, 1993). We deny Boyer's Motion for Declaratory Judgment and his request to particularize his claim. 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
