UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 10-1367
In Re: KEITH DOUGLAS ROBINSON,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
(5:08-cv-00068-GCM)
Submitted: June 24, 2010 Decided: June 29, 2010
Before DUNCAN, AGEE, and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Keith Douglas Robinson, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Keith Douglas Robinson petitions for a writ of
mandamus seeking to challenge this court’s decision in
Robinson v. Jackson, No. 08-7943 (4th Cir. Mar. 9, 2009)
(unpublished). Mandamus relief is a drastic remedy and should
be used only in extraordinary circumstances. Kerr v. United
States 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 and there are no adequate means
to obtain that relief. In re Braxton, 258 F.3d 250, 261 (4th
Cir. 2001).
Because mandamus is not the proper remedy for
challenging a prior decision of this court, we deny the
petition. 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.
PETITION DENIED
