(No. 99-1214
Submitted October 12, 1999
Decided November 24, 1999.)
Gary Graves, pro se.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
We affirm the judgment of the court of appeals. Original actions for extraordinary relief like a writ of mandamus must be commenced by filing a complaint or petition rather than a motion. See State ex rel. Brantley v. Ghee (1998), 83 Ohio St.3d 521, 522, 700 N.E.2d 1258, 1259.
Judgment affirmed.
Moyer, C.J., Douglas, Resnick, F.E. Sweeney, Pfeifer, Cook and Lundberg Stratton, JJ., concur.
