FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 21-2387
In re: PERCY JAMES TUCKER,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (2:09-cr-00182-AWA-DEM-1)
Submitted: January 10, 2022 Decided: January 14, 2022
Before MOTZ and THACKER, Circuit Judges, and KEENAN, Senior Circuit Judge.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Percy James Tucker, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Percy James Tucker petitions for a writ of mandamus, asking us to order the district
court to stay the proceedings in his criminal case and to vacate the court’s order revoking
his supervised release. “[M]andamus is a drastic remedy that must be reserved for
extraordinary situations.” In re Murphy-Brown, LLC, 907 F.3d 788, 795 (4th Cir. 2018)
(internal quotation marks and citations omitted). “Courts provide mandamus relief only
when (1) petitioner ‘ha[s] no other adequate means to attain the relief [he] desires’; (2)
petitioner has shown a ‘clear and indisputable’ right to the requested relief; and (3) the
court deems the writ ‘appropriate under the circumstances.’” Id. (quoting Cheney v. U.S.
Dist. Court, 542 U.S. 367, 380-81 (2004)). The writ of mandamus is not a substitute for
appeal after final judgment. Will v. United States, 389 U.S. 90, 97 (1967); In re Lockheed
Martin Corp., 503 F.3d 351, 353 (4th Cir. 2007).
We have reviewed Tucker’s petition and amended petition, and we conclude that he
fails to show that he is entitled to the requested relief. Accordingly, we deny the petition
and amended petition for a 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
