UNPUBLISHED
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT
No. 15-2574
In Re:
JANICE WOLK GRENADIER,
Petitioner.
On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.
(1:14-cv-00827-LMB-TCB)
Submitted:
July 15, 2016
Decided:

Before WILKINSON and NIEMEYER, Circuit Judges, and DAVIS, Senior
Circuit Judge.
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.
Janice Wolk Grenadier, Petitioner Pro Se.
Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
Appeal: 15-2574
Doc: 9
Filed: 07/26/2016
Pg: 2 of 2
PER CURIAM:
Janice
Wolk
Grenadier
petitions
for
a
writ
of
mandamus
seeking an order requiring the district court judge to recuse
herself.
We conclude that Grenadier is not entitled to mandamus
relief.
Mandamus relief is a drastic remedy and should be used only
in extraordinary circumstances.
Kerr v. U.S. Dist. Court, 426
U.S. 394, 402 (1976); United States v. Moussaoui, 333 F.3d 509,
516-17 (4th Cir. 2003).
Further, mandamus relief 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).
Because Grenadier essentially seeks to reopen her case, the
relief sought is not available by way of mandamus.
Accordingly,
although we grant leave to proceed in forma pauperis, 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
