PER CURIAM: William Kevin Glover petitions for a writ of prohibition, asking this court to prohibit the district court from exercising jurisdiction over his criminal charges and ordering the court to show cause why he should not be immediately released. We conclude that Glover is not entitled to the relief he seeks. “[A] writ of prohibition is a drastic and extraordinary remedy which should be granted only when the petitioner has shown [that] his right to the writ [is] clear and undisputable[,] . . . that the actions of the court were a clear abuse of discretion,” In re Vargas, 723 F.2d 1461, 1468 (10th Cir. 1983), and that he has “no other adequate means to attain the desired relief,” In re Sch. Asbestos Litig., 921 F.2d 1310, 1314 (3d Cir. 1990) (cleaned up). A writ of prohibition may not be used as a substitute for appeal. In re Vargas, 723 F.2d at 1468; see United States v. Foster, 296 F.2d 249, 251 (4th Cir. 1961). The relief sought by Glover is not available by way of a writ of prohibition.

Accordingly, we deny Glover’s 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.
