In Re: Miller

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 10-1127 In Re: HENRY EARL MILLER, Petitioner. On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (6:04-cr-00022-HFF-3) Submitted: August 19, 2010 Decided: August 26, 2010 Before MOTZ, GREGORY, and AGEE, Circuit Judges. Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion. Henry Earl Miller, Petitioner Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Henry Earl Miller petitions for a writ of mandamus seeking modification of the transcript of his sentencing proceeding. We conclude that Miller 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 Miller is not available by way of mandamus. Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus. We deny Miller’s pending motions. 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 2
