UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 11-2162 DON BOYD, Plaintiff – Appellant, v. ANGELICA TEXTILE SERVICES, Inc., Defendant – Appellee, and JERRY OLIVER; SOUTH CAROLINA, State of, Defendants. Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, at Columbia. Joseph F. Anderson, Jr., District Judge. (3:10-cv-00872-JFA) Submitted: February 16, 2012 Decided: February 21, 2012 Before SHEDD, KEENAN, and WYNN, Circuit Judges. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Don Boyd, Appellant Pro Se. Reyburn Williams Lominack, III, C. Frederick W. Manning, II, FISHER & PHILLIPS, LLP, Columbia, South Carolina, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Don Boyd appeals the district court’s orders adopting the magistrate judge’s reports, dismissing his claims against the State of South Carolina and Jerry Oliver for lack of jurisdiction, and granting summary judgment on his employment discrimination claims. We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated by the district court. Boyd v. Angelica Textile Servs., No. 3:10-cv-00872-JFA (D.S.C. Mar. 11 & Sept. 19, 2011). We deny Boyd’s petition for writ of mandamus, as we conclude that Boyd does not have a clear right to the relief sought. See Kerr v. United States Dist. Court, 426 U.S. 394, 402 (1967) (mandamus is a drastic remedy to be used in extraordinary situations); In re First Fed. Sav. & Loan Ass’n, 860 F.2d 135, 138 (4th Cir. 1988) (mandamus may be sought where petitioner shows clear right to requested relief, respondent has a clear duty to comply, and there is no other remedy). 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. AFFIRMED 2
