[Cite as Myles v. Wyatt (1991), 62 Ohio St.3d 191.]
(No. 91-728
Submitted September 17, 1991
Decided December 11, 1991.)
James Myles, Jr., pro se.
Thomas M. Bernabei, Law Director, and Mariella Mestel, for appellee.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
Relator-appellant, James Myles, Jr., filed a "Motion for a Writ of Mandamus" in the Court of Appeals for Stark County on March 4, 1991. The court of appeals overruled the motion pursuant to Civ.R. 12(B)(6) (failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted) for lack of a proper complaint. We agree. R.C. 2731.04 states that "[application for the writ of mandamus must be by petition ." Accordingly, the judgment of the court of appeals is affirmed.
Judgment affirmed.
Moyer, C.J., Sweeney, Holmes, Douglas, Wright, H. Brown and Resnick, JJ., concur.
