[Cite as State, ex rel. Koch, v. Indus. Comm. (1992), 63 Ohio St.3d 747.]
(No. 91-15
Submitted March 16, 1992
Decided June 3, 1992.)
Harris F. Jacobs and Daniel B. Startsman, Jr., for appellant.
Lee I. Fisher, Attorney General, Dennis L. Hufstader and Cheryl J. Nester, for appellees Industrial Commission and Bureau of Workers’ Compensation.
Richard J. Schimpf and J. Kent Breslin, for appellee United Signs, Inc.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
Our review of the record indicates that claimant did not seek administrative rehearing of the commission's order as permitted by Ohio Adm.Code 4121-3-20(G). As a general rule, failure to exhaust available administrative remedies precludes issuance of a writ of mandamus in a VSSR action. State, ex rel. Bailey, v. Indus. Comm. (1991), 62 Ohio St.3d 191, 580 N.E.2d, 1081. Cf. State, ex rel. Cotterman, v. St. Marys Foundry (1989), 46 Ohio St.3d 42, 544 N.E.2d 887.
For this reason, the judgment of the court of appeals is affirmed.
Judgment affirmed.
Moyer, C.J., Sweeney, Holmes, Douglas, Wright, H. Brown and Resnick, JJ., concur.
