UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 21-2389 In re: TEKOA T. GLOVER, a/k/a Toby, Petitioner. On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (6:18-cr-588) Submitted: April 20, 2022 Decided: May 12, 2022 Before GREGORY, Chief Judge, QUATTLEBAUM, Circuit Judge, and KEENAN, Senior Circuit Judge. Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion. Tekoa T. Glover, Petitioner Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Tekoa T. Glover petitions for a writ of mandamus seeking an order directing the district court to provide him with copies of the payment vouchers submitted by certain court-appointed attorneys. We conclude that Glover is not entitled to mandamus relief. Mandamus relief is a drastic remedy and should be used only in extraordinary circumstances. Cheney v. U.S. Dist. Ct., 542 U.S. 367, 380 (2004); In re Murphy-Brown, LLC, 907 F.3d 788, 795 (4th Cir. 2018). Further, mandamus relief is available only when the petitioner has a clear right to the relief sought and “has no other adequate means to attain the relief [he] desires.” Murphy-Brown, 907 F.3d at 795 (alteration and internal quotation marks omitted). We have reviewed the record and conclude that Glover is not entitled to the relief he seeks. Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus. We 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. PETITION DENIED 2
