Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.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
