UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 11-1863 In re: MELANIA CORCINO, Petitioner. On Petition for Writ of Prohibition. (5:05-cr-00260-BO-2) Submitted: January 31, 2012 Decided: February 6, 2012 Before SHEDD, AGEE, and WYNN, Circuit Judges. Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion. Melania Corcino, Petitioner Pro Se. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: Melania Corcino petitions for a writ of prohibition seeking an order to stop the enforcement of a detainer lodged against her by immigration authorities following the completion of her federal sentence. We conclude that Corcino is not entitled to relief. The writ of prohibition is a drastic remedy and should be used only in extraordinary circumstances. In re Vargas,
723 F.2d 1461, 1468 (10th Cir. 1983). Further, prohibition relief is available only when the petitioner has a clear and indisputable right to the relief sought.
Id.We have reviewed the petition and conclude that Corcino has not made the requisite showing for issuance of the writ. Accordingly, we deny the petition for a writ of prohibition. We further deny Corcino’s motion for appoinment of counsel and dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. PETITION DENIED 2
