UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 21-2389
In re: TEKOA T. GLOVER, a/k/a Toby,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (6:18-cr-588)
Submitted: April 20, 2022 Decided: May 12, 2022
Before GREGORY, Chief Judge, QUATTLEBAUM, Circuit Judge, and KEENAN, Senior
Circuit Judge.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Tekoa T. Glover, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Tekoa T. Glover petitions for a writ of mandamus seeking an order directing the
district court to provide him with copies of the payment vouchers submitted by certain
court-appointed attorneys. We conclude that Glover is not entitled to mandamus relief.
Mandamus relief is a drastic remedy and should be used only in extraordinary
circumstances. Cheney v. U.S. Dist. Ct., 542 U.S. 367, 380 (2004); In re Murphy-Brown,
LLC, 907 F.3d 788, 795 (4th Cir. 2018). Further, mandamus relief is available only when
the petitioner has a clear right to the relief sought and “has no other adequate means to
attain the relief [he] desires.” Murphy-Brown, 907 F.3d at 795 (alteration and internal
quotation marks omitted).
We have reviewed the record and conclude that Glover is not entitled to the relief
he seeks. Accordingly, we deny the petition for 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
