United States v. Israel Arreola-Contreras

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

Israel Arreola-Contreras appeals pro se from the district court’s order affirming, upon reconsideration, its prior order denying his motion to compel the United States *454 Probation Office for the District of Oregon to respond to the Bureau of Prisons’ May 4, 2012, letter notifying the Probation Office of Arreola-Contreras’s assertion that his presentence report contained incorrect information regarding his citizenship. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

Contrary to Arreola-Contreras’s contention, the district court did not abuse its discretion by denying mandamus relief under 28 U.S.C. § 1861. Arreola-Contreras has not established that he is entitled to the extraordinary remedy of mandamus. See Fallini v. Hodel, 788 F.2d 1343, 1345 (9th Cir. 1986) (“Mandamus relief is only available ... if (1) the plaintiffs claim is clear and certain; (2) the duty of the officer is ministerial and so plainly prescribed as to be free from doubt; and (3) no other adequate remedy is available.” (citations and internal quotations omitted)).

AFFIRMED.
