State ex rel. Whittenberger v. Clarke

We affirm the judgment of the court of appeals. A writ of mandamus will not be issued when there is a plain and adequate remedy in the ordinary course of the law. R.C. 2731.05; State ex rel. Natl. Electrical Contractors Assn., Ohio Conference v. Ohio Bur. of Emp. Serv. (1998), 83 Ohio St.3d 179, 183, 699 N.E.2d 64, 67. As the court of appeals held, Whittenberger had an adequate remedy by appeal to challenge the common pleas court’s imposition of court costs.

Judgment affirmed.
