No. 14-2127.
United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.
Submitted: Feb. 19, 2015.
Decided: March 2, 2015.
Nicholas James Queen, Sr., Petitioner pro se.
Before WILKINSON, MOTZ, and SHEDD, Circuit Judges.

Opinion:
Dismissed by unpublished PER CURIAM opinion.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
PER CURIAM:
Nicholas James Queen, Sr., petitions this court for a writ of mandamus, seeking an order vacating a .criminal judgment. We dismiss the petition.
Mandamus is a drastic remedy to be used only in extraordinary circumstances. Kerr v. United States Dist. Court, 426 U.S. 394, 402, 96 S.Ct. 2119, 48 L.Ed.2d 725 (1976); United States v. Moussaoui, 333 F.3d 509, 516-17 (4th Cir.2003). Further, mandamus 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). The relief Queen seeks is unavailable by way of mandamus.
We deny leave to proceed in forma pau-peris and 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.
DISMISSED.
