In Re DARNELL CARTER, Petitioner ______________________

2026-110 ______________________

On Petition for Writ of Prohibition to the United States Court of Federal Claims in No. 1:25-cv-01884-RAH, Judge Richard A. Hertling. ______________________

ON PETITION ______________________

Before REYNA, BRYSON, and STARK, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM. ORDER The United States Court of Federal Claims ordered Darnell Carter to show cause why his tax refund claims should be not dismissed without prejudice for lack of juris- diction, directing him to submit the documentation he filed with the Internal Revenue Service to support that court’s jurisdiction. Mr. Carter now petitions this court for a writ of prohibition preventing enforcement of that order. Issuance of a writ “is a drastic and extraordinary rem- edy reserved for really extraordinary causes.” Cheney v. U.S. Dist. Ct. for D.C., 542 U.S. 367, 380 (2004) (cleaned Case: 26-110 Document: 12 Page: 2 Filed: 12/12/2025

up). A petitioner seeking such relief must show: (1) “no other adequate means to attain the relief he desires,” (2) a “clear and indisputable” right to relief, and (3) the writ is “appropriate under the circumstances.” Id. at 380–81 (cleaned up). Mr. Carter has not shown a clear and indis- putable right to relief or that he cannot raise his challenges to the order on appeal after a final judgment. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT: The petition is denied, and any pending motion is de- nied. FOR THE COURT
