COY v. COURT DIAGNOSTIC AND TREATMENT CENTER.
[Cite as Coy v. Court Diagnostic & Treatment Ctr. (2001), 144 Ohio App.3d 779.]
Court of Appeals of Ohio, Sixth District, Lucas County.
No. L-01-1341.
Decided Aug. 21, 2001.
David R. Coy, pro se.

Opinion:
Handwork, Judge.
David R. Coy is asking this court to issue a writ of mandamus to compel the Court Diagnostic & Treatment Center ("center") to release a copy of a report of the results of a mental competence evaluation that was performed on Coy at the center. Sixth Dist.Loc.App.R. 6 provides: "An original action, other than habeas corpus, shall be instituted by the filing of an original and three copies of a complaint. The petitioner or relator shall also file a praecipe directing the clerk of the court of appeals to serve a copy of the complaint on each other party at the addresses listed in the praecipe." (Emphasis added.) No praecipe was filed by Coy. Accordingly, this court orders Coy's petition for mandamus dismissed for failure to comply with Sixth Dist.Lo.c.App.R. 6. Costs to petitioner Coy.
Petition dismissed.
Mark L. Pietrykowski, P.J., and Melvin L. Resnick, J., concur.
