JAMES D. SWEENEY, C.J.:
     Relator, Joseph Agee, seeks  a writ of mandamus in order  to
compel the respondent, the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor, to  verify
the minutes of the Grand Jury hearings as held in Cuyahoga County
Court  of Common Pleas  Case Nos. CR-342195  and CR-341348.   The
respondent has filed a motion to dismiss.
     Herein, the relator has failed to allege that the respondent
possesses a legal duty to verify grand jury minutes, to approve his
indictments or to obtain and release minutes of the grand jury.  In
fact, this court has repeatedly held that the respondent possesses
no  duty to  perform  the requested  acts  and that  the  relator
possesses other adequate remedies at law.  State, ex rel. Smith v.
Jones(Dec. 18, 1996), Cuyahoga App. No. 70768, unreported; State,
ex rel. Martin v. Jones (Sep. 10, 1996), Cuyahoga App. No. 71170,
unreported; State,  ex  rel. Malave  v.  Jones (Oct.  27,  1994),
Cuyahoga App. No. 66892, unreported.
     Accordingly, we grant  the respondent's  motion to  dismiss.
Costs to relator.
     Writ dismissed.
