NO. 84-3953
United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit.
1/25/85

ORDER
BEFORE:  MERRITT, WELLFORD, and MILBURN, Circuit Judges.

1
This matter is before the Court upon consideration of petitioner's petition for a writ of prohibition.  Petitioner requests this Court to prohibit the district court from conducting any further proceeding on a motion filed by respondent Schimman to alter or amend an order vacating an award of attorney's fees.  Schimman filed a response.

2
A petition for a writ of mandamus or prohibition cannot be used as a substitute for an appeal.  Will v. United States, 389 U.S. 90 (1967); Bankers Life & Casualty Co. v. Holland, 346 U.S. 379 (1953); National City Bank v. Battisti, 581 F.2d 565 (6th Cir. 1977).  Petitioner is attempting to achieve by a writ of prohibition what may be resolved in a later appeal once the district court rules on the motion to alter or amend.

3
It is ORDERED that the petition for a writ of prohibition is denied.
