UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 13-1256
In re: ROBERT E. YOUNG
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
(No. 1-C-T-14612)
Submitted: April 18, 2013 Decided: April 22, 2013
Before WILKINSON, GREGORY, and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Robert E. Young, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Robert E. Young petitions for a writ of mandamus
seeking an order compelling state officials to deposit a sum of
money into his prison trust account. We conclude that Young 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). Moreover, this court
does not have jurisdiction to grant mandamus relief against
state officials. Gurley v. Superior Court of Mecklenburg Cnty.,
411 F.2d 586, 587 (4th Cir. 1969).
The relief sought by Young 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 this court and argument would not aid the decisional
process.
