UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 11-1967
In Re: MYKAL S. RYAN,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (08-50805-FJS)
Submitted: October 20, 2011 Decided: November 10, 2011
Before NIEMEYER and GREGORY, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON,
Senior Circuit Judge.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Mykal S. Ryan, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Mykal S. Ryan petitions for a writ of mandamus and
other injunctive relief seeking an order from this court
directing the bankruptcy court to dismiss or transfer the case,
to place it in abeyance, grant him reasonable accommodations, to
return certain personal property, to recuse the presiding judge
and other parties, to vacate certain orders, and to strike. We
conclude that Ryan 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 Ryan is not available by way of
mandamus or otherwise. Accordingly, we deny the petition for
writ of mandamus and motion for injunctive relief. 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
