OPINION*

PER CURIAM

Eileen Vey has filed a petition for a writ of mandamus asking this Court for an 

order transferring a residence to her. More specifically, she asks the Court to order a 

person she identifies as Jerry Tyskiewiez, Director of Services, Department of Real 

Estate, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to transfer to her a house from her former husband. Vey 

states that her former husband has suffered a heart attack and that bill collectors will take

constitute binding precedent.

the house before she can claim it through his will. She has attached a document to her 

petition that purports to be a copy of the will.

 A writ of mandamus is a drastic remedy available only in extraordinary cases. 

See In re Diet Drugs Prods. Liab. Litig., 418 F.3d 372, 378 (3d Cir. 2005). A petitioner 

seeking mandamus must demonstrate that “(1) no other adequate means exist to attain the 

relief he desires, (2) the party’s right to issuance of the writ is clear and indisputable, and 

(3) the writ is appropriate under the circumstances.” Hollingsworth v. Perry, 558 U.S. 

183, 190 (2010) (per curiam) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). 

Here, there is no basis for granting the petition for a writ of mandamus as Vey has 

not shown a clear and indisputable right to the writ or that she has no other adequate 

means to obtain the relief desired. For these reasons, we will deny Vey’s petition for a 

writ of mandamus.
