                                    3
PER CURIAM:

              We have consolidated six proceedings brought by Don

Boyd for consideration, and we grant leave to proceed in forma

pauperis in all.          In case numbers 11-1983, 11-1990, 11-1996, and

11-1998, Boyd appeals the district court’s orders adopting the

magistrate judge’s reports and denying relief on Boyd’s claims

brought pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 (2006).                     We have reviewed

the    records     and    find   no    reversible    error.       Accordingly,     we

affirm for the reasons stated by the district court.                         Boyd v.

KLLM Transport Servs., No. 3:10-cv-03208-JFA (D.S.C. Aug. 12,

2011); Boyd v. City of Columbia, No. 3:11-cv-00013-JFA (D.S.C.

Aug.    12,   2011);      Boyd   v.    Bi-Lo,     Inc.,   No.    3:10-cv-03209-JFA

(D.S.C.,      Aug. 12,     2011);     Boyd   v.   Wal-Mart      Stores,    Inc.,   No.

3:11-cv-00845-JFA (D.S.C. Aug. 12, 2011).

              In   case    numbers      11-2143     and   11-2144,        Boyd   seeks

mandamus relief directing the district court and the magistrate

judge in two of the above cases to provide additional citations

to the record.           We conclude that Boyd is not entitled to the

requested relief.          Mandamus is a drastic remedy and should be

used only in extraordinary circumstances; it may not be used as

a substitute for appeal.              Kerr v. United States Dist. Court, 426

U.S. 394, 402 (1976); United States v. Moussaoui, 333 F.3d 509,

516-17 (4th Cir. 2003).               Further, mandamus relief is available

only when the petitioner has a clear right to the relief sought.

                                             4
In re First Fed. Sav. & Loan Ass’n, 860 F.2d 135, 138 (4th Cir.

1988).   Boyd has not met these standards, and therefore, we deny

his petitions for mandamus.

          We grant Boyd’s motion to have his “mitigative briefs”

considered   as   his   informal   briefs,   but   deny   his   remaining

motions, including his motion for waiver of service, his motion

to deconsolidate, and his motion to direct the district court to

provide him with a certified copy of the record.            We dispense

with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are

adequately presented in the materials before the court.

                                                     PETITION DENIED
