[Cite as State ex rel. Howard v. Seaway Food Town, Inc., 100 Ohio St.3d 169, 
2003-Ohio-5285.] 
Appellate procedure — Cause dismissed for want of jurisdiction. 
(No. 2003-0636 — Submitted August 26, 2003 — Decided October 22, 2003.) 
APPEAL from the Court of Appeals for Franklin County, No. 00AP-1097.

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.
