PATTON, C.J.
     Plaintiff-appellant,  Sandra  Robertson   appeals  the   trial
court's  decision  granting  defendant-appellees, Joseph  Sgro  and
Anthony Sgro's motions to dismiss.
     On July 9, 1976,  Robertson gave birth to a  mentally retarded
baby girl, Diana Lee Rogers.  The Ohio Department of Human Services
placed Diana in  several institutions  throughout her minor  years.
In  1987,  Robertson filed  with  the  juvenile court  a  motion to
establish the parent-child relationship, naming  Joseph Sgro as the
father.  The juvenile court stated in its journal entry that Joseph
Sgro was Diana's father and found his  date of birth to be November
10, 1955.
     The  juvenile  court  ordered  Joseph Sgro  to  pay  $35  plus
poundage per week of which  $25 per week is  to be paid as  current
support,  said  money  to  be  disbursed  to  the  Cuyahoga  County
Department of Human Services-Social Services  and/or its assigns as
approved by the  Court.  The remaining $10 per week  is to apply on
maternity expenses of $1,272.35, said money  to be disbursed to the
Ohio Department  of Human Services.  When  the $1,272.35 is paid in
full, then said $10 per week is to apply on past care  of $12, 268,
said money to  be disbursed  to the Cuyahoga  County Department  of
Human Services.    Then said  $10 per week  is to apply as  current
support, thereby increasing  current support  payments to $35  plus
poundage per week.
                               - 3 -
     Robertson never received any support payments from Joseph Sgro
so  she  filed a  complaint  against  Joseph Sgro  and  his father,
Anthony  Sgro  claiming  that  they  both  acted  with  negligence,
wilfulness  and  recklessness  when  they  failed to  make  support
payments.  
     Robertson's pro  se brief  claims that  the trial  court erred
when it dismissed her  causes of action against Joseph  and Anthony
Sgro.   Joseph Sgro moved the trial  court to dismiss the complaint
against him  because  the trial  court did  not have  jurisdiction.
Joseph Sgro claimed that jurisdiction for  a complaint to enforce a
previous juvenile court order remains with the juvenile court.
     Initially, we note  that the  Robertson's original action  for
parentage was filed in juvenile court  pursuant to R.C. 3111.02 and
3111.09.   
     R.C. 3111.06(A) states in relevant part:
          (A)   The   juvenile    court   has    original
          jurisdiction  of  any  action authorized  under
          sections 3111.01 to 3111.19.
     The Ohio  Supreme Court  has held  that as  between courts  of
concurrent jurisdiction,  the court whose power is first invoked by
proper proceedings acquires  jurisdiction, to the exclusion  of all
other tribunals, to adjudicate  upon the whole issue and  to settle
the  rights of the  parties.  Knowlton  Co. v. Knowlton  (1992), 63
Ohio St.3d 677.
     It is clear in the case against Joseph  Sgro that the original
action filed  against him was  properly invoked  in juvenile  court
                               - 4 -
pursuant to R.C. 3111.02.  Therefore, jurisdiction remains with the
juvenile court pursuant to  Knowlton Co., supra.   Accordingly, the
trial court  did not err  when it granted  Joseph Sgro's motion  to
dismiss  based  on  the  trial   court's  lack  of  subject  matter
jurisdiction.
     Robertson's pro se appeal claiming  the trial court erred when
it granted Anthony Sgro's motion to dismiss is rendered moot due to
the  disposition  of   her  first   claim.    App.R.   12(A)(1)(c).
Accordingly, Robertson's pro se appeal is overruled.
     Judgment affirmed.
                               - 5 -
     It is  ordered that appellees recover of appellant their costs
herein taxed.  
     The Court finds there were reasonable grounds for this appeal.
     It  is ordered that a special  mandate issue out of this Court
directing the Court  of Common  Pleas to carry  this judgment  into
execution.  
     A certified copy  of this entry  shall constitute the  mandate
pursuant to Rule 27 of the Rules of Appellate Procedure.
