PER CURIAM:
Dalton Alonzo Dixon, a North Carolina inmate, petitions for an extraordinary writ
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1651, seeking an order from this court “[d]ischarg[ing Dalton]
from any/and all unconstitutional social (commercial) contract(s) that stands in violation
of [his] common law rights. And any other forms of relief [he] may be entitled to.” (Pet.
for Extraordinary Writ (ECF No. 2) at 12-13).
Our authority to issue extraordinary writs under the All Writs Act “is only incidental
to and in aid of [our] appellate jurisdiction, which Congress has given [Courts of Appeals]
over district courts and administrative boards and agencies.” Gurley v. Superior Ct. of
Mecklenburg Cnty., 411 F.2d 586, 587 (4th Cir. 1969) (per curiam) (citations omitted).
The relief sought by Dixon is not available by way of extraordinary writ. Accordingly, we
deny the 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
