Before AGEE and KEENAN, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior

Petitions denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Chase Carmen Hunter, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Chase Hunter petitions for a writ of mandamus seeking an
order directing all of the district courts in this Circuit,
except for the District of South Carolina, to grant her access
to their electronic filing systems. We conclude that Hunter is
not entitled to mandamus relief.
Mandamus relief is a drastic remedy and should be used only
in extraordinary circumstances. Kerr v. U.S. 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 Hunter is not available by way of
mandamus. She cites neither statutory law nor judicial
precedent demonstrating a clear right to file electronically.
Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed in forma
pauperis, we deny her mandamus petitions, deny her motion to
voluntarily dismiss, and deny her motions for extension of time
as moot. 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.
