UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 15-1253
In re: ANGELO GALLOWAY, a/k/a Gelo,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
(2:10-cr-00096-MSD-TEM-2)
Submitted: May 19, 2015 Decided: May 21, 2015
Before NIEMEYER and HARRIS, Circuit Judges, and DAVIS, Senior
Circuit Judge.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Angelo Galloway, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Angelo Galloway petitions for a writ of mandamus seeking an
order directing a district judge to docket his pro se ethics
grievance against a federal prosecutor. We conclude that
Galloway 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 district court’s docket reveals that Galloway’s
grievance was received by the district court and referred for
investigation. To the extent Galloway seeks additional relief
by way of his mandamus petition, he fails to demonstrate a clear
right to such relief. Accordingly, we grant leave to proceed in
forma pauperis, but 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.
PETITION DENIED
