Clark v. United States District Court

276 F. App'x 591

Opinion

MEMORANDUM **

K. Clark petitions for a writ of mandamus arising from the district court’s decision to dismiss her complaint against Time Warner Cable (“TWC”) on the grounds that her claim against TWC under 47 U.S.C. § 258(a) warranted a referral to the Federal Communications Commission in the first instance.¹

Clark’s mandamus petition seeks precisely the same relief as her appeal — a reversal of the district court’s decision, and a remand that requires the district court to consider the merits of her § 258(a) claim. This court will not “engage in extraordinary review by mandamus ... when it can exercise the same review by a contemporaneous ordinary appeal.” Calderon v. U.S. Dist. Court, 137 F.3d 1420, 1421 (9th Cir.1998) (quoting Moses H. Cone Mem’l Hosp. v. Mercury Constr. Corp., 460 U.S. 1, 8 n. 6, 103 S.Ct. 927, 74 L.Ed.2d 765 (1983)).

Accordingly, Clark’s petition for mandamus is

DENIED.
