PER CURIAM:

Darron Tillison petitions for a writ of prohibition seeking 

relief from the civil judgment obtained against him and his 

employer. A writ of prohibition “is a drastic and extraordinary 

remedy” that is available only when the petitioner has a clear 

and indisputable right to the relief sought. 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.

We have reviewed the petition and conclude that Tillison 

has not made the requisite showing for issuance of the writ. 

Accordingly, we deny the writ of prohibition. 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
