PER CURIAM.
                         ORDER
    Vinodh Raghubir currently has a case pending before
the United States Court of Federal Claims. He now peti-
tions for a writ of prohibition, asking this court to “prohibit
conduct pursuant to ‘the conspiracy to predetermine the
outcome of judicial proceedings’ throughout proceedings
now involving the Federal Court of Claims.”
     Like a writ of mandamus, a writ of prohibition is a
drastic remedy that is available only when a petitioner has
a clear and indisputable right to relief and no adequate al-
ternative legal channels through which to obtain that re-
lief. See Cheney v. U.S. Dist. Court for the Dist. of

2                                          IN RE: RAGHUBIR

Columbia, 542 U.S. 367, 380–81 (2004); In re Missouri, 664
F.2d 178, 180 (8th Cir. 1981). Mr. Raghubir has not
demonstrated that an appeal from an eventual final judg-
ment of the Court of Federal Claims would be inadequate
or that he has a clear and indisputable right to relief.
      Accordingly,
      IT IS ORDERED THAT:
      The petition is denied.
                                FOR THE COURT
