PER CURIAM:

              Don Boyd appeals the district court’s orders adopting

the magistrate judge’s reports, dismissing his claims against

the   State    of    South     Carolina   and    Jerry     Oliver   for    lack   of

jurisdiction, and granting summary judgment on his employment

discrimination claims.           We have reviewed the record and find no

reversible error.           Accordingly, we affirm for the reasons stated

by the district court.             Boyd v. Angelica Textile Servs., No.

3:10-cv-00872-JFA (D.S.C. Mar. 11 & Sept. 19, 2011).                       We deny

Boyd’s petition for writ of mandamus, as we conclude that Boyd

does not have a clear right to the relief sought.                     See Kerr v.

United States Dist. Court, 426 U.S. 394, 402 (1967) (mandamus is

a drastic remedy to be used in extraordinary situations); In re

First Fed. Sav. & Loan Ass’n, 860 F.2d 135, 138 (4th Cir. 1988)

(mandamus may be sought where petitioner shows clear right to

requested relief, respondent has a clear duty to comply, and

there   is    no    other    remedy).     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.

                                                                           AFFIRMED
