###### Department of Labor

###### Employment and Training Administration

          - [NAFTA-04812]

                    By letter of July 20, 2001 the International Brotherhood of Boiler Makers, Iron Ship Builders, Blacksmiths, Forgers and Helpers requested administrative reconsideration of the Department of Labor's Notice of Negative Determination Regarding Eligibility to Apply for NAFTA Transitional Adjustment Assistance, applicable to petition number NAFTA 04613. The denial notice was signed on June 26, 2001 and published in the                     **Federal Register**                     on July 11, 2001 (66 FR 36329).                

The union requested administrative reconsideration based on the belief that Cemex (the acquiring company of the subject plant) replaced the subject plants customer base with imported cement products from Mexico.

## Conclusion

After careful review of the application, I conclude that the claim is of sufficient weight to justify reconsideration of the Department of Labor's prior decision. The application is, therefore, granted.

      ( print page 65226)    
Signed at Washington, DC this 3rd day of December 2001.

Edward A. Tomchick,

Director, Division of Trade Adjustment Assistance.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

See Local Rule 36(c).

PER CURIAM:

Vernoy Kennedy appeals the district court’s order granting

summary judgment for First Omni on Kennedy’s claims under the Truth

in Lending Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1642 (1994), and remanding the remaining claim to the state courts. We have reviewed the record and the

district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the district court. See Kennedy

v. First Omni Statutory Actions, No. CA-97-947-6-20 (D.S.C. Sept.

16, 1998). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and

legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before

the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 01-1774

In Re: ISIDORO RODRIGUEZ, Petitioner.

On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. Submitted: June 29, 2001 Decided: July 26, 2001 Before LUTTIG, MOTZ, and KING, Circuit Judges. Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion. Isidoro Rodriguez, Petitioner Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c).2 PER CURIAM: Isidoro Rodriguez filed this mandamus petition requesting that this Court compel the district court to reinstate his complaint, order discovery, convene a jury to determine the facts and to comply with Rule 4(f) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Inter-American Convention on Letters of Rogatory, 14 Int’l Legal Materials. Mandamus is a drastic remedy to be used only in extraordinary circumstances. Kerr v. United States Dist. Court , 426 U.S. 394, 402 (1976). Mandamus relief is only available when there are no other means by which the relief sought could be granted, In re Beard , 811 F.2d 818, 826 (4th Cir. 1987), and may not be used as a substitute for appeal. In re Catawba Indian Tribe , 973 F.2d 1133, 1135 (4th Cir. 1992). The party seeking mandamus relief carries the heavy burden of showing that he has “no other adequate means to attain the relief he desires” and that his entitlement to such relief is “clear and indisputable.” Allied Chem. Corp. v. Daiflon, Inc. , 449 U.S. 33, 35 (1980). Because Rodriguez has not shown that there is not an available remedy or that he is entitled to the requested relief, we deny hispetition for mandamus relief. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. PETITION DENIED
