    The petitioner, Ivey Walker, filed a petition for a writ of mandamus alleging undue delay in the district court's consideration of his habeas corpus petition. The court denied the petition for mandamus relief, finding that there had been no undue delay, as Walker had only filed his habeas petition two months prior. The writ of mandamus is a drastic remedy that should only be granted in extraordinary situations where no other remedy is available, which was not the case here.

    UNPUBLISHED

    UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS


    FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT

    No. 02-6780

    In Re: IVEY WALKER,


    Petitioner.

    On Petition for Writ of Mandamus.


    (CR-97-22-T, CA-02-66-3)

    Submitted:

    June 13, 2002

    Decided:

    June 19, 2002

    Before WIDENER, LUTTIG, and WILLIAMS, Circuit Judges.

    Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion.


    Ivey Walker, Petitioner Pro Se.

    Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.


    See Local Rule 36(c).

    PER CURIAM:
    Ivey Walker, a federal prisoner, filed a petition for a writ
    of mandamus alleging undue delay in the district court.

    Walker

    filed a habeas corpus petition pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A. 2241 (West


    2000) on February 20, 2002.
    The writ of mandamus is a drastic remedy and should only be
    granted in those extraordinary situations when no other remedy is
    available.

    In re: Beard, 811 F.2d 818, 826 (4th Cir. 1987).

    We

    find that there has been no undue delay in the district court.

    We

    therefore deny the petition for mandamus relief.


    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.

    PETITION DENIED
