UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 11-2039
IN RE: DONNELL MULDROW,
Petitioner.
On Petition for a Writ of Mandamus.
(5:11-ct-03160-D)
Submitted: March 29, 2012 Decided: April 2, 2012
Before WILKINSON, KING, and KEENAN, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Donnell Muldrow, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Donnell Muldrow petitions for a writ of mandamus
seeking an order directing the installation of air conditioning
units at his prison segregation facility. We conclude that
Muldrow is not entitled to mandamus relief.
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. In re First Fed. Sav. & Loan
Ass'n,
860 F.2d 135, 138 (4th Cir. 1988). The relief sought by
Muldrow is not available by way of mandamus. 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 the court and argument would
not aid the decisional process.
PETITION DENIED
