Petitioner filed a petition for a writ of mandamus seeking to have this court order the court reporter to transcribe and file in the district court transcripts of portions of his criminal trial: opening and closing statements, jury instructions, two jury questions, and his sentencing hearing. Petitioner failed to show that he has a clear right to the relief sought and that no other remedy is available. In re First Fed. Sav. & Loan Ass'n, 860 F.2d 135, 138 (4th Cir. 1988); In re United Steelworkers, 595 F.2d 958, 960 (4th Cir. 1979). Accordingly, we deny the petition for a writ of mandamus. 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.
