IN RE: Antonio Marco HERRERA, Petitioner.
Antonio Marco Herrera, a Virginia inmate, petitions for a writ of mandamus. By way of his mandamus petition, Herrera challenges this court's December 21, 2020 decision denying his petition for a writ of error coram nobis. See In re Herrera, 831 F. App'x 639, 640 (4th Cir. 2020). Because the writ of mandamus may not “be used as a substitute for the regular appeals process,” and because Herrera can ask the Supreme Court to review our December 21, 2020 decision, we deny the petition. Cheney v. U.S. Dist. Ct. for D.C., 542 U.S. 367, 380-81, 124 S.Ct. 2576, 159 L.Ed.2d 459 (2004). 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
PER CURIAM:
Petition denied by unpublished per curiam opinion. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.
