Docket

*1 Before GREGORY, Chief Judge, and MOTZ and TRAXLER, Circuit Judges.

Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.

Ronald McClary, Petitioner Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. *2 PER CURIAM:

Ronald McClary petitions for a writ of mandamus seeking an order directing the district court to provide him with copies of his filings from all of his lawsuits. We conclude that McClary is not entitled to mandamus relief.

Mandamus relief is a drastic remedy and should be used only in extraordinary circumstances. Kerr v. U.S. Dist. Court , 426 U.S. 394, 402 (1976); United States v. Moussaoui, 333 F.3d 509, 516-17 (4th Cir. 2003). Further, mandamus relief is available only when the petitioner has a clear right to the relief sought. In re First Fed. Sav. & Loan Ass’n , 860 F.2d 135, 138 (4th Cir. 1988).

McClary has not demonstrated a clear right to the requested relief. Accordingly, we deny the petition for a writ of mandamus. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before this court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

PETITION DENIED
