IN RE: Shapat Ahdawan NABAYA, a/k/a Norman Abbott, Petitioner.
    No. 17-2257
    United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
    Submitted: November 16, 2017
    Decided: December 15, 2017
    Shapat Ahdawan Nabaya, Petitioner Pro Se.
    Before WILKINSON and SHEDD, Circuit Judges, and HAMILTON, Senior Circuit Judge.
   Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit,

PER CURIAM:'

Shapat Ahdawan Nabaya petitions for a writ of error under the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a) (2012) seeking the dismissal of the criminal charges against him. He also seeks release on bail pending appeal. We conclude that Nabaya is not entitled to relief.

Federal courts “may issue all writs necessary or appropriate in aid of their respective jurisdictions and agreeable to the usages and principles of law.” 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a) (2012). However, petitioners may not obtain relief under § 1651(a) when there is another available remedy. See United States v. Swaby, 855 F.3d 233, 238 (4th Cir. 2017); United States v. Torres, 282 F.3d 1241, 1245 (10th Cir. 2002), Because Nabaya may assert his claims following entry of a final judgment by the district court, relief under § 1651(a) is not warranted.

Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of error and deny Nabaya’s motion for release pending appeal. 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
