In re Arthur D’AMARIO, III, Petitioner.
    No. 12-1997.
    United States Court of Appeals, Third Circuit.
    Filed: June 14, 2012.
    Arthur D’Amario, III, Victorville FCI, Adelanto, CA, pro se.
    Mark E. Coyne, Esq., Office of. United States Attorney, Newark, NJ, for United States of America.
    Mark E. Coyne, Esq., for Paul S. Diamond.
    Before: RENDELL, HARDIMAN and VAN ANTWERPEN, Circuit Judges.
   OPINION

PER CURIAM.

In 2006, D’Amario was convicted in the District Court of threatening a United States Judge, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 115(a)(1)(B), and he was sentenced to 84 months’ imprisonment. Recently, D’Amario filed a petition for a writ of mandamus, alleging that he is scheduled to be released from prison in June 2012, although D’Amario argues that he should have been released already, and that Judge Diamond, who presided over D’Amario’s jury trial, has conspired with United States Probation Officer Scherrer to deny D’Amario the opportunity to transition into a halfway house and to be released into the jurisdiction of his choice. D’Amario asks this Court to (1) compel Judge Diamond to cease interfering with the Bureau of Prisons’s decision about where to release D’Amario, and (2) to compel Officer Seherrer to cease falsifying reports and threatening D’Amario, particularly because, in D’Amario’s view, his sentence has already expired.

Mandamus is an “extraordinary remedy” that we award only when a petitioner demonstrates, among other things, a “clear and indisputable” right to relief. In re Pressman-Gutman Co., 459 F.3d 383, 398-99 (3d Cir.2006). Mandamus lies only when there is no other remedy to obtain the relief sought. See Mallard v. U.S. Dist. Court for S. Dist. of Iowa, 490 U.S. 296, 309, 109 S.Ct. 1814, 104 L.Ed.2d 318 (1989). D’Amario has plainly failed to meet this high standard. His petition includes no evidence, beyond his bare allegations, that either Judge Diamond or Officer Seherrer has acted inappropriately in any respect.

Accordingly, we will deny the petition.
