PER CURIAM:

Ronald McClary petitions for a writ of mandamus seeking an 

order directing the district court to identify the cases listed on 

the North Carolina Department of Public Safety’s Trust Fund Account 

Statement. We conclude that McClary 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).

Because McClary has not shown a clear right to the relief 

sought, we 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
