PER CURIAM:

Derrick D. Boger petitions for a writ of prohibition 

seeking an order directing that the North Carolina prison 

facilities be given law libraries and/or legal assistance. A 

writ of prohibition “is a drastic and extraordinary remedy which 

should be granted only when the petitioner has shown his right 

to the writ to be clear and undisputable and that the actions of 

the court were a clear abuse of discretion.” In re Vargas, 723 

F.2d 1461, 1468 (10th Cir. 1983). A writ of prohibition may not 

be used as a substitute for appeal. Id.. 

Boger has not shown any basis for the relief he seeks. 

Accordingly, although we grant leave to proceed in forma 

pauperis, we deny the writ of prohibition and Boger’s motion for 

appointment of counsel. 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
