PER CURIAM:

Jianqing Wu petitions for a writ of mandamus seeking an 

order compelling the district court to follow federal and local 

rules of procedure in managing his case and for recusal of the 

district court judge. We conclude that Jianqing Wu is not 

entitled to mandamus relief.

Mandamus relief is a drastic remedy and should be used only 

in extraordinary circumstances. Kerr v. U.S. Dist. Court, 426 

U.S. 394, 402 (1976); United States v. Moussaoui, 333 F.3d 509, 

516-17 (4th Cir. 2003). Further, mandamus relief is available 

only when the petitioner has a clear right to the relief sought. 

In re First Fed. Sav. & Loan Ass’n, 860 F.2d 135, 138 (4th Cir. 

1988). 

Jianqing Wu has failed to demonstrate that he is entitled 

to the relief he seeks. Accordingly, we deny Jianqing Wu’s 

motion for initial hearing en banc and deny the petition for 

writ of mandamus. 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
