On Petition for Writ of Mandamus. (1:21-cv-01230-MSN-WEF)

Deafueh Monbo and Juahdi Monbo, Petitioners Pro Se.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. USCA4 Appeal: 22-1997 Doc: 8 Filed: 11/22/2022 Pg: 2 of 2

PER CURIAM:

Deafueh and Juahdi Monbo (“Petitioners”) petition for a writ of mandamus seeking

an order instructing the district court clerk to enter default pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(a).

We conclude that Petitioners are 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.,

(2004); In re Murphy-Brown,

LLC,

(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,

(cleaned up).

We have reviewed the record and conclude that Petitioners are not entitled to the

relief they seek. Accordingly, we deny the petition for writ of mandamus. We further deny

Petitioners’ motions for a stay pending the resolution of their petition. 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
