    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
    No. 21-1405
    In re: CHRISTINA M. VOGT,
    Petitioner.
    On Petitions for Writ of Prohibition. (3:20-cv-00122-GMG-RWT)
    Submitted: August 19, 2021                                        Decided: August 23, 2021
    Before GREGORY, Chief Judge, FLOYD, and RUSHING, Circuit Judges.
    Petitions denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
    Christina M. Vogt, Petitioner Pro Se.
    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
    PER CURIAM:
    Christina M. Vogt has filed a petition and a supplemental petition for a writ of
    prohibition, seeking an order from this court remanding her removed civil action back to
    West Virginia state court and censuring the district court judge.
    A writ of prohibition is a “drastic and extraordinary remedy which should be granted
    only when the petitioner has shown h[er] right to the writ to be clear and undisputable and
    that the actions of the court were a clear abuse of discretion.” In re Vargas, 
    723 F.2d 1461
    ,
    1468 (10th Cir. 1983). A writ of prohibition may not be used as a substitute for appeal.
    
    Id.
     The relief sought by Vogt is not available by way of prohibition. Accordingly, we
    deny the petition and the supplemental petition for a writ of prohibition.
    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.
    PETITIONS DENIED
