ON MOTION AND PETITION
______________________
Before L OURIE, M AYER, and HUGHES , Circuit Judges.
P ER CURIAM .
O R D E R
Martin Akerman, I, petitions this court for a writ of
mandamus to compel the Merit Systems Protection Board
to take certain action in his Board appeals, Nos. DC-1221-
22-0257-W-2 and DC-1221-22-0445-W-2. Mr. Akerman
also moves for various relief, including to hold this matter
“in abeyance for 180 days” so that other of his cases may
“proceed to resolution.” ECF No. 15 at 4.
Mr. Akerman’s petition seeks to compel the Board to
rule on his stay requests and to document a status confer-
ence held with the administrative judge. The All Writs Act

IN RE AKERMAN 2
provides that federal courts “may issue all writs necessary
or appropriate in aid of their respective jurisdictions and
agreeable to the usages and principles of law.” 28 U.S.C.
§ 1651(a). Mandamus is an extraordinary remedy availa-
ble only where the petitioner shows: (1) a clear and indis-
putable right to relief; (2) no adequate alternative avenue
for relief; and (3) that mandamus is appropriate under the
circumstances. Cheney v. U.S. Dist. Ct. for D.C., 542 U.S.
367, 380–81 (2004). At a minimum, Mr. Akerman has not
shown a clear and indisputable right to the relief re-
quested. We thus deny mandamus relief.
Accordingly,
I T I S O RDERED T HAT :
The petition and all pending motions are denied.
