Per Curiam. 
{¶ 1} This is an appeal from a judgment dismissing a petition for a writ 
of mandamus to compel a trial court judge to issue findings of fact and 
conclusions of law on the denial of a petition for postconviction relief. 
{¶ 2} In July 2005, appellant, Artie Grissom, filed a petition in the Court 
of Appeals for Erie County for a writ of mandamus to compel appellee, Erie 
County Common Pleas Court Judge Beverly K. McGookey, to issue findings of 
fact and conclusions of law relating to her August 23, 2004 denial of Grissom’s 
petition for postconviction relief. 
{¶ 3} In August 2005, the court of appeals dismissed the petition. 
{¶ 4} We affirm the judgment of the court of appeals.  As the court of 
appeals held, Grissom’s failure to comply with the requirements of R.C. 2969.25 
justified dismissal.  State ex rel. Hawk v. Athens Cty., 106 Ohio St.3d 183, 2005-
Ohio-4383, 833 N.E.2d 296, ¶ 5. 
Judgment affirmed.
