The State ex rel. Howard, Appellant, v. Seaway [Food Town], Inc. et al., Appellees.
    [Cite as State ex rel. Howard v. Seaway Food Town, Inc., 100 Ohio St.3d 169, 2003-Ohio-5285.]
    (No. 2003-0636
    Submitted August 26, 2003
    Decided October 22, 2003.)
    Gregory T. Howard, pro se.
    Eastman & Smith, Ltd., Thomas A. Dixon, Margaret Mattimoe Sturgeon and Heidi N. Eischen, for appellee Seaway Food Town, Inc.
    Jim Petro, Attorney General, and Thomas L. Reitz, Assistant Attorney General, for appellees Industrial Commission and Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation.
   Per Curiam.

{¶ 1} The permanent total disability compensation application of appellant-claimant, Gregory T. Howard, was denied by appellee Industrial Commission of Ohio. The Court of Appeals for Franklin County upheld that decision on July 23, 2001, by denying appellant’s petition for a writ of mandamus, and we have affirmed that judgment on three occasions. See (2002), 94 Ohio St.3d 171, 761 N.E.2d 37; (2002), 94 Ohio St.3d 440, 763 N.E.2d 1176; and 96 Ohio St.3d 45, 2002-Ohio-3318, 770 N.E.2d 591.

{¶ 2} Claimant continues, however, to inundate the judicial system with frivolous filings. The latest is his appeal of a February 28, 2003 Franklin County Court of Appeals journal entry that denied several of these meritless motions. Finding that the entry is not a final appealable order as contemplated by R.C. 2505.02, we hereby dismiss this cause for want of jurisdiction.

Judgment accordingly.

Moyer, C.J., Resnick, F.E. Sweeney, Pfeifer, Lundberg Stratton, O’Connor and O’Donnell, JJ., concur.
