PER CURIAM:
Sabrina D. Davis petitions for a writ of mandamus, seeking an order instructing the
district court to enforce a South Carolina state court order, which Davis asserts conflicts
with the district court’s 2017 order resolving the underlying civil case. We conclude that
Davis is 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., 542 U.S. 367, 380 (2004); In re Murphy-Brown,
LLC, 907 F.3d 788, 795 (4th Cir. 2018). Mandamus may not be used as a substitute for
appeal, In re Lockheed Martin Corp., 503 F.3d 351, 353 (4th Cir. 2007), and relief is
available only when the petitioner has “a clear and indisputable right” to the relief sought
and “has no other adequate means to attain the relief [she] desires,” Murphy-Brown, 907
F.3d at 795 (citation modified).
The relief Davis seeks is not available by way of mandamus. 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
